Architecture

This section describes the whole game architecture and how things are structured. AI:MMO consists of four main components, split into their own directories.

Components

The UI (players directory)

A Django app used for the front-end and database interaction (one globally). There are static Unity build files to render the game in browser.

Games (aimmo-game directory)

Holds and updates the game state (one per game).

Game Creator (aimmo-game-creator directory)

Responsible for creating games (one globally).

Workers (aimmo-game-worker directory)

Contains the code for an avatar which is given a game state and returns the avatar's action for that turn.

Terminology

Avatar: a player's in-game representation. A player can have up to one per game.

Player: a single person with an account.
