Server for the Corona Defense game, an online multiplayer variation of the classic tower defense genre. Written in C# for the ASP.NET runtime. Client implemented at swa-group1/corona-defense-client.

In CoronaDefense:

• API receives requests from the clients.
• BackEnd
  • Orchestrator processes requests not intended for one specific lobby, such as highscore list functionality.
  • Router transmits requests to specific lobbies.
  • Game contains all game logic.
  • Communication accepts socket connections and broadcasts game changes to all attached clients.

The server runs continously on the Google Cloud Platform, and in most instances does not need to be started locally to run the application as a whole. If one still wishes to run the server locally, one must clone the repository, open the the solution file at path CoronaDefense/CoronaDefense.sln with a recent version of Visual Studio 2019, and start the BackEnd project through the user interface.

To connect to this local server, one can manually change the IP address constants in the client and rebuild it.
