# Architecture #
## Required ##
* Redis
Redis is an open source, BSD licensed, advanced key-value cache and store. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, bitmaps and hyperloglogs.
[Download](http://redis.io/download)
* node.js / npm
Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.
[Download](http://nodejs.org/download)
* PM2 (production & cluster)
PM2 is a production process manager for Node.js applications with a built-in load balancer. It allows you to keep applications alive forever, to reload them without downtime and to facilitate common system admin tasks.

# Installation #
* Installing globally and run as service with PM2:
```bash
[sudo] npm install pm2 -g
[sudo] npm install casino-server -g
# run redis-server first
redis-server &
# run as service and cluster mode
pm2 start `which casino-server` -i 0
```
* Installing as a node app, and run in current folder:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/floatinghotpot/casino-server.git casino
cd casino
npm install
# sudo npm install -g gulp
# gulp build
node bin/casino-server [options]
```
Now you can visit http://localhost:7000, it's a web-based game client for testing and demo purpose.
```bash
# open a browser to access the test web page
open http://localhost:7000/
```
# Available Options: #
-p Port to use (defaults to 7000)
-h Host address to use (defaults to 0.0.0.0)
-r Address of Redis server (defaults to 127.0.0.1:6379)
# Tools #
With Redis as the message bus, it's very easy for tools to work with the open architecture.
## Event Logger ##
Start the event logger to monitor the events:
```bash
bin/logger.js
```
Or, log the events into log file:
```bash
bin/logger.js -o ./tmp/casino.log
```
# See Also
* [socket.io for Unity3D](https://github.com/floatinghotpot/socket.io-unity), is a socket.io client library for Unity3D. You can develop casino games with Unity3D, and using this library to connect to this casino server.
