Netbound

A safe and fair way to play games with friends over the internet

âš¡ Quick start

The following is a basic example of how to start a websockets game server using Netbound. This example uses the asyncio library to run the server in a non-blocking manner.

# File: __main__.py

import asyncio
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncEngine, create_async_engine
from netbound.app import ServerApp

async def main() -> None:
    db_engine: AsyncEngine = create_async_engine("sqlite+aiosqlite:///database.sqlite3")
    server_app: ServerApp = ServerApp("localhost", 443, db_engine)

    print("Server starting...")

    async with asyncio.TaskGroup() as tg:
        tg.create_task(server_app.start())
        tg.create_task(server_app.run(ticks_per_second=10))

    print("Server stopped")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    try:
        asyncio.run(main())
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        logging.info("Server stopped by user")

Defining packets

Packets are the primary way of communicating between the server and the client, or between server "protocols". Create your own module(s) with subclass packets of netbound.packet.BasePacket and inject them into the server app.

# File: example_packets.py

from netbound.packet import BasePacket

class ExamplePacket(BasePacket):
    my_field: str
    my_other_field: int

class AnotherPacket(BasePacket):
    some_field: list[int]

# File: __main__.py

import example_packets
from netbound.app import ServerApp

server_app: ServerApp = ServerApp("localhost", 443)
server_app.register_packets(example_packets)

Defining models

Models are the primary way of storing data in the database. Create your own module(s) with subclassed models of sqlalchemy.orm.DeclarativeBase and inject them into the server app.

# File: example_models.py

from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase

class Base(DeclarativeBase):
    pass

class ExampleModel(Base):
    my_field: str
    my_other_field: int

Now we need to tell alembic where your models are located:

alembic init alembic

And edit the alembic/env.py file to point to your models' Base class so that when when you run the following shell commands,

alembic revision --autogenerate -m "Initial migration"
alembic upgrade head

you will see your database file appear with all of your models inside.

For more information, see https://alembic.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/tutorial.html.

Defining states

States are the primary way of managing the game state. Create an initial state for the server app and tell it to use that state.

# File: entry_state.py

from netbound.state import BaseState
from example_packets import ExamplePacket, AnotherPacket
from example_models import ExampleModel

class EntryState:
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self._name: str = "entry_state"

    async def _on_transition(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        await self._queue_local_client_send(ExamplePacket(from_pid=self._pid, my_field="hello", my_other_field=42))

        async with self._get_db_session() as session:
            eg: ExampleModel = ExampleModel(my_field="hello", my_other_field=42)
            session.add(eg)
            session.commit()

    async def tick(self) -> None:
        await self._queue_local_client_send(AnotherPacket(from_pid=self._pid, some_field=[1, 2, 3]))

    async def handle_anotherpacket(self, p: AnotherPacket) -> None:
        print("Received another packet with fields:")
        for n in p.some_field:
            print(n)

# File: __main__.py

import asyncio
from entry_state import EntryState
from netbound.app import ServerApp

async def main() -> None:
    server_app: ServerApp = ServerApp("localhost", 443)

    print("Server starting...")

    async with asyncio.TaskGroup() as tg:
        tg.create_task(server_app.start(initial_state=EntryState))
        tg.create_task(server_app.run(ticks_per_second=10))

    print("Server stopped")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    try:
        asyncio.run(main())
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        logging.info("Server stopped by user")
