# Multiplayer Reversi Game on Internet Computer
**[Read about how the game was made!](https://ninegua.github.io/reversi)**
This game runs on [Internet Computer] as a canister.
Users can communicate with this canister by sending messages, which are just asynchronous function calls.
**Play it at https://ivg37-qiaaa-aaaab-aaaga-cai.ic0.app**
## Backend
The game backend is written in [Motoko].
`register(player_name)` - Register the caller using the player name.
`start(opponent_name)` - Start a game expecting an opponent.
If the name is empty string, the game will accept whoever joins next.
The first player starting a game will play black, and the second player will play white.
`view()` - Get the up-to-date game state.
`move(row, col)` - Place a piece at the given row and column (caller must be a registered player and has started a game).
The game will also keep player scores across all games.
## Frontend
The GUI frontend is build with Javascript and [Mithril].
It is stored as a separate asset canister directly on [Internet Computer], and can be loaded at the game URL into a browser.
The terminal-based frontend no longer works with the new multiplayer API.
The [DFINITY SDK] currently lacks a way to switch or use different keypairs, which means the caller identity cannot change, so we don't have a way to run the game using the `dfx` command.
## Installation
To run the game locally, you need to install [DFINITY SDK] first, which also requires [Node.js] and `npm`.
After starting dfx (`dfx start --background`), run the following to build and install the canister:
```
dfx deploy
echo "http://localhost:8000/?canisterId=$(dfx canister id reversi_assets)"
```
The last command prints a URL, load it in a browser, and enjoy!
