A Go server using websockets to allow users to remotely play Noughts & Crosses through a Vue.js page and check the game status through a REST endpoint.
At the root (/), a static html file using Vue.js is served connecting to the server via websockets that allows users to play the game. Clicking New Game will create and join a new game. Clicking Join Game will an join existing game with the specified ID.
An endpoint listening for requests at /games/:id where id is the game ID (int), returns the status of the specific game including the status and state.
status property:
0 In progress
1 X won
2 O won
3 Draw
The websocket handler listens for 3 actions from the client and returns a game state to the client including the results of the action. After a MOVE action the state of the game is sent to both players.
NEW GAME - Creates a Game using the struct and is persisted globaly inside a map.
JOIN GAME - Adds the client to an existing game with the provided ID if space is available.
MOVE - Checks if the client is a player, and the move is valid. The state of the game is then checked.
