Architecture
3-tier, cleanly separated layers
- PHP front-end
- C++ application server
- Postgres back-end (logic will be in app server; will primarily be types, tables, and integrity constraints, not sprocs)
- xml/xsd data files
- use C++ for 'scripting' for now; SWIG could be an option later
Tasks
Milestone 1
- Execute map laying portion of beginning of game
- PHP web based solution
- Local app
- Possibly exposed as web service
finish xml data files
- data for in-game objects (avoid defining effects for spells, etc; just use tags and refer to them in C++)
- scenario files/structure
- current game data/structure (based on a given scenario)
- site-wide data/structure (list of registered players, admins, current/old games, etc)
- import of initial xml data into db
- define network messages (rpc calls)
choose network protocol
serialization functions can be generated from the xml API docs
- Socket (Streams): might be used with the REST protocol
xsd code generator
to generate clean, consistent 'glue' interfaces (eg: serialization for soap, rest, and sql)
- generate ddl and sql import scripts
- serialization code for c++/php
- network code (eg: wsdl)
