Open Source Game Engine for Turn-Based Games

Full Documentation: link

Write simple functions that describe how the game state changes when a particular move is made. This is automatically converted into a working game complete with online multiplayer features, all without requiring you to write a single line of networking or database handling code.

Features

• State Management: Game state is managed seamlessly across clients, server and storage automatically.
• Cross-platform Multiplayer: All clients (Web / Android / iOS) are kept in sync in realtime.
• Automatic AI: MCTS-based bots with options to customize.
• Game Phases: with different game rules (including custom turn orders) per phase.
• Prototyping: Debugging interface to simulate moves even before you render the game.
• Logs: Game logs with the ability to time travel (viewing the board at an earlier state).
• View-layer Agnostic: Vanilla JS client with bindings for React / React Native.
• Component Toolkit: Components for hex grids, cards, tokens.
• Extendable: Subsystems (storage, networking etc.) can be replaced with custom implementations.
