Client Server Communication

Main ideas

There are three types of communication between the client and the server.

1. Sending a move for game session
2. Getting the latest state for game session
3. Everything else (new game room, sessions, statistics, etc.)

We have chosen to use simple http-protocol for all of these scenarios. For type 2 requests, simple polling is used. In the future, types 1 and 2 might be replaced with Websockets or HTTP/2.

OpenAPI docs

We use an OpenAPI schema (formerly Swagger) to formalize our http communication. Detailed documentation is available on apiary:
