# CallRoulette

## Overview and motivation

CallRoulette is a simple web application for experimenting with WebRTC technologies using Python

on the backend. It was initially coded for the [Python FOSDEM devroom](http://python-fosdem.org/)

but it has since been further enhanced.

The backend uses [asyncio](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html) and

[aiohttp](http://aiohttp.readthedocs.org). The frontend uses pretty much vanilla JavaScript with

[rtcninja](https://github.com/eface2face/rtcninja.js) as the WebRTC adapter.

## Protocol

### V1 - (not really) SIP

The protocol for communicating clients is dead simple: a WebSocket connection is used with 3 types

of messages: 'offer_request', 'offer' and 'answer'. There is no message to end the communication,

this is intentional, in order to keep it as simple as possible.

(not really) SIP: Saghul's Imbecile Protocol

### V2 - yo

The yo protocol is an improvement over (not really) SIP used in version 1. It maintains the original

spirit of simplicity (only 4 message types), but it uses [Trickle ICE](https://webrtchacks.com/trickle-ice/).

## Thanks

- [Iñaki Baz Castillo](https://github.com/ibc) for [rtcninja](https://github.com/eface2face/rtcninja.js)

  and helping me with JavaScript.

- The [aiohttp](http://aiohttp.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) [authors](https://github.com/KeepSafe/aiohttp/graphs/contributors): for making it really easy to mix HTTP servers with WebSockets in

  asyncio.
