WARNING: The version v1.x of pitaya is under deprecation, complete guide of the new version v2.x can be found here.


Pitaya is an simple, fast and lightweight game server framework with clustering support and client libraries for iOS, Android, Unity and others through the C SDK. It provides a basic development framework for distributed multiplayer games and server-side applications.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Go >= 1.10
  • etcd (used for service discovery)
  • nats (optional, used for sending and receiving rpc, grpc implementations can be used too if prefered)
  • docker (optional: used for running etcd and nats dependencies on containers)

Installing

clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/topfreegames/pitaya.git

setup pitaya dependencies

make setup

Hacking pitaya

Here's one example of running Pitaya:

Start etcd (This command requires docker-compose and will run an etcd container locally. An etcd may be run without docker if prefered.)

cd ./examples/testing && docker-compose up -d etcd

run the connector frontend server from cluster_grpc example

make run-cluster-grpc-example-connector

run the room backend server from the cluster_grpc example

make run-cluster-grpc-example-room

Now there should be 2 pitaya servers running, a frontend connector and a backend room. To send requests, use a REPL client for pitaya pitaya-cli.

$ pitaya-cli
Pitaya REPL Client
>>> connect localhost:3250
connected!
>>> request room.room.entry
>>> sv-> {"code":0,"result":"ok"}

Running the tests

make test

This command will run both unit and e2e tests.
