What it should do

  • There should be a home page
    • Watch featured game
    • Search for a game
    • Puzzels
    • Friends search

Creating game process

  • Player 1 search for opponent
    • Include ratings filter, time control
  • Player 2 is also searching for a game and criteria overlap
  • Player 2 sees this game request and accepts it
  • Player 1 should confirm
  • Both players should receive a game id

Caveats

  • Software can act on either players behalf in the the above flow
  • Either player may not be a human
    • But each agent should know the agent type of their opponent

First Step

  • Facilitate engine vs engine game
