This project is a backend application for a turn-based RPG game developed using Spring Boot 3.1.1 and Java 17. It is containerized with Docker and Docker-compose and uses environment variables from a .env file for configuration. The authentication is implemented using JWT (JSON Web Tokens).

At the outset, players can create their unique characters, choosing from three distinct classes: Mage, Warrior, or Hunter. Each class has its strengths and abilities, offering diverse playstyles for the players to explore. As players embark on their journey, they will witness their characters' growth and development. With each victorious battle and successful duel, characters gain experience points (XP) and progress through levels. As characters level up, they become more powerful, and their base statistics, such as spell power, attack power, and critical strike chance, increase accordingly yor character class.
Equipping the right gear is crucial for survival and success on the battlefield. Characters can wield a combination of one weapon, one item, and one armor at a time. Obtaining equipment is achieved through the use of a virtual currency called "claims."
Players earn claims in various ways: by creating new characters, emerging victorious in duels, or achieving new levels of experience. As they amass claims, players can spend them to obtain randomized equipment with varying stats based on character level and potential enchantments.
Weapons are especially versatile and can be enchanted, enhancing their prowess in combat. Enchantments are magical properties that are randomly applied to weapons when acquired. However, the rarest and most potent enchantments are harder to come by, adding an element of excitement and anticipation each time a new weapon is acquired.
Items in the game offer powerful buffs and debuffs that can turn the tide of a battle. When players acquire items with their claims, they receive random effects that can either strengthen their characters or weaken their adversaries.
The unpredictability of the items' effects adds an extra layer of strategy, requiring players to adapt and plan their tactics accordingly.
Players can add friends to their network. Having friends comes with benefits, one of which is the ability to challenge each other to thrilling duels. Test your characters' mettle against those of your closest companions.
For those seeking a challenge beyond their circle of friends, the game offers a matchmaking queue. This feature pairs players with opponents of similar character levels, ensuring balanced and fair duels.
As characters progress and gain experience, the ultimate goal is to reach level 30—the pinnacle of power and mastery (ranked queues will be added in the future).
The application is configured using environment variables from a .env file, so it is necessary to create one in the root directory of the project. The following variables are required for the application to run:
PSQL_DB_NAME=
PSQL_DB_HOST=
PSQL_DB_PORT=
PSQL_DB_USER=
PSQL_DB_PASSWORD=
APP_PORT=
SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=No need to configure but If you want to change the default configuration for JWT, you can do so by modifying the following attributes in JwtService.java:
// HMAC-SHA256 secret key of length 256 bits
private final static String SECRET_KEY = "po9+LwqlQJdaZJZ/G6+2UK4Sq/AFO4DIH3fma5G+um27cTfyonkf+yB2GwKKvIBT";
// 1 day
private final static Integer EXPIRATION_DELTA = 1000*60*60*24; Set up the environment variables in the .env file and make sure you have a PostgreSQL database running. Then, execute the following commands in the root directory of the project:
gradlew build
gradlew bootRunMake sure you have a PostgreSQL database running. Then, execute the following commands in the root directory of the project:
docker build -t arpyduel-backend .
docker run --name arpyduel \
-e APP_PORT=YOUR-APP-PORT \
-e PSQL_DB_NAME=YOUR-DB-NAME \
-e PSQL_DB_HOST=YOUR-DB-HOST \
-e PSQL_DB_PORT=YOUR-DB-PORT \
-e PSQL_DB_USER=YOUR-DB-USER \
-e PSQL_DB_PASSWORD=YOUR-DB-PASSWORD \
arpyduel-backendTo run the application using docker-compose, create a .env file in the root directory of the project and set up the environment variables. Then, execute the following command:
docker-compose up --buildThe API documentation is available at http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui.html after running the application.
The application has unit tests for the domain layer. To run the tests, execute the following command in the root directory of the project:
gradlew testThe application is designed to be scalable. The following diagram shows the domain model of the application:
The strategy pattern is used to implement the different behaviors of character classes, duel types, debuffs, weapon types and enchantments. This allows for easy extensibility of the application, as new classes can be added by implementing the corresponding interfaces and adding the new classes to the factory methods.
