P2P Card Game

Game

My main goal for this project was to make an online multiplayer game that was easily accessible to play. I decided on porting over "Drump" because I am a big fan of card games and a turn-based game is an approachable online game to develop in a reasonable amount of time.

Networking

To achieve this goal I settled on making a client that was playable on web browsers so that they would also work on mobile devices. I also wanted clients to connect peer-to-peer to avoid having to host game servers.

Client

• The client uses Godot's High level API to initiate the WebRTC connection.

• The game logic is mainly driven by RPCs which make calls to a Game Manager on both ends.

Server

• Even though the gameplay is peer-to-peer a server is still required to act as a signaling server for establishing the WebRTC connections between peers.

• I took this opportunity to also add a light lobby system to enable players to find each other for matches.
