Description

Backend microservice supporting GoGifUrself.

Dev Process

1. Pull the latest code from Github
2. Update the go deps go get
3. Run all local tests to ensure a good base has been pulled go test
4. Make any code changes. Please ensure test cases are added for any new code.
5. Run all local tests to ensure the code is working, again... go test

Locally Run

From the root of the project:

go get

go test

go run main.go

Containerized Execution (nope)

We need to get an external repository to push to, so we can run this bish in the cloud somewhere.

1. Build the container: docker build . -f dockerfile -t go-gif
2. Run the container locally docker run -p 8080:8080 go-gif

Endpoints Supported (well not really)

• GET /players/[id] # Get a player by ID
• GET /players/ # Get a collection of players
• POST /game_sessions # Create a game session
• GET /game_sessions/[id] # Get a game session by ID
• DELETE /game_sessions/[id] # Delete a game session by ID
• GET /game_sessions/[id]/players # Get players in a game session
• PUT /game_sessions/[id]/players # Add a player to a game session

Additions Required ASAP

• use make or some build automation
• linting of code
• automatic go test reports
• determine how this will run in the cloud
• different place for actual tests
• DB type and hosting needs to be confirmed
• instrument the running to allow for better monitoring
• document the dev practices like branching etc

NOTE: EXTRACT ALL OF THIS OUT OF CODE BASE

GoGifUrself

Number of players: 2-8 (must be even number of players for pairing)

Players are paired off in a round-robin fashion and asked a series of questions which they must respond with a gif of their choice. At the end of each round, the other players vote on their favorite answers. Highest score at the end of three rounds wins!

The three rounds: first blood, middle game, and the revelation.

First Blood: Players compete in pairs. Other players in game vote for their favorite answer. Middle Game: Players compete in groups of total players / 2. Other players in game vote for their favorite answer. Revelation: Players are all asked a single prompt. Players can vote on anyone other than themselves.
