Modules

Language specific functionality is provided by modules. codegame-cli automatically downloads the correct module version corresponding to the CodeGame version and executes the downloaded binary at the root of the project directory with the respective command.

Additionally, the CONFIG_FILE environment variable is set with the path to a temporary file containing command specific configuration in JSON format.

Modules can be implemented in any language. However, it is recommended to write them in Go using the github.com/code-game-project/go-utils and github.com/Bananenpro/cli packages in order to avoid bugs and be consistent with the CLI and other modules.

new

Creates a new project of the type provided by a second command line argument:

client

Creates a new game client. This includes integration with the client library for the language, a functioning template with a main file and language specific metadata files like package.json or similar and wrappers around the library to make its usage easier including setting the game URL with the CG_GAME_URL environment variable (required).

config data

{
	"lang": "go", // the chosen programming language (in case one module supports multiple languages)
	"name": "my_game", // the name of the game
	"url": "my_game.example.com", // the URL of the game server
	"library_version": "0.9.2" // the version of the client library to use
}

server

Creates a new game server. This includes integration with the server library of the language and a functioning template, which implements common logic like starting the server and providing a game class.

config data

{
	"lang": "go", // the chosen programming language (in case one module supports multiple languages)
	"library_version": "0.9.2" // the version of the server library to use
}

update

Updates the library to the specified version and all other dependencies used by the project to their newest compatible version. Additionally all wrappers are updated.

config data

{
	"lang": "go", // the chosen programming language (in case one module supports multiple languages)
	"library_version": "0.9.2" // the new version of the library to use
}

run

Runs the project with the specified command line arguments and the CG_GAME_URL environment variable set to the URL specified in the .codegame.json file.

config data

{
	"lang": "go", // the chosen programming language (in case one module supports multiple languages)
	"args": ["-f", "my_file.txt"] // the command line arguments for the application
}

build

Builds the projects and injects the URL specified in the .codegame.json file, which makes the CG_GAME_URL environment variable optional.

config data

{
	"lang": "go", // the chosen programming language (in case one module supports multiple languages)
	"output": "bin/my-game" // The name of the output file
}
