Basic Game Example

This is a port of the starter game template to cardinal V2.

Prerequisites

• Go 1.24 or later
• NATS server with JetStream enabled
• Docker and Kubernetes (for running with Tilt)

Running the Game

Start the development environment using Tilt:

tilt up

Run the game server:

go run main.go

Testing the Game

The example includes a test client that can send various game commands. The client automatically creates necessary JetStream streams and uses the correct message format.

Available Commands

Create a new player:

go run cmd/client/main.go create-player <nickname>

# Example:
go run cmd/client/main.go create-player player1

Attack a player:

go run cmd/client/main.go attack-player <target> <damage>

# Example:
go run cmd/client/main.go attack-player player1 20
