Making a game

We are going to make a realtime multi-user game using Vert.x.

This example is inspired by real time bindding with websockets and vert.x article.

Game Rules

The game principles will be:

• a hero can request to join the game

• when required number of heroes is present, it starts the game

• there are two teams and heroes are placed on opposite sides when the game starts

• when the game starts, treasures are placed on the map but they are hidden underground

• when players start playing, they can go and fight others with shovels, which is not very effective

• or they can go and use the shovel to dig out a treasure, there are various artifacts that can be found in a treasure, like excalibur sword, powerful cursed magical wands or epic armor from dragon skin.

• when they dig in the ground, they can find things like dirt, worms, coins

• when one side wins, the get all collected things and they split it amongs the winning team, losers get nothing

• heroes can use the spoils to buy special equipment to make their players look ultra cool

Ok, I think I just freaked out with these requirements, but that could be nice game to play I think :) Lets just create a playground and let the heroes move there.

Setup Project

We will need two parts. The first one is the frontend and then backend that will provide data and share data amongst players.
