Description

The Spellsource-Server project is a 2-player card battler that supports hosted, networked gameplay. It features rudimentary matchmaking, collection management and support for game mechanics that persist between matches.

See the complete code reference here.

Getting Around

Cards are located at cards/src/main/resources/cards/custom.

To implement new effects (called Spells inside Spellsource) add a new Spell subclass to game/src/main/java/net/demilich/metastone/game/spells.

You can learn more about the Spellsource AI as implemented in the GameStateValueBehaviour class.

The server application starts in Clustered. ./gradlew netRun uses LocalClustered.

The client is private, please contact for access on the Discord.

Cloning this repository

This repository uses Git Submodules. This means, if you have the proper authorization, you'll be able to access all the source code using:

git clone https://github.com/hiddenswitch/Spellsource.git
cd Spellsource
git submodule update --init --recursive

Failures are normal if you do not have permissions to the repositories.

If you have the permissions, you will need to add your SSH key to the private repositories, for both BitBucket and GitHub, to access all of them. Contact us on the Discord at the start of this document if you'd like to contribute to private work like the game client.

You cannot use the GitHub Desktop app to download this repository.

Getting started with Development on macOS

Requirements: Java 11 or later and Docker. Check your current version of Java using java --version.

1. Install dependencies:

   # XCode binaries
   xcode-select --install
   # Brew
   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
   # Docker. Look carefully at any messages brew tells you and do them
   brew cask install docker
   # Java (if required)
   brew install openjdk@11
   # Not sure why brew doesn't just do this for you
   sudo ln -sfn /usr/local/opt/openjdk/libexec/openjdk.jdk /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk.jdk
   brew link --force openjdk@11

2. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/hiddenswitch/Spellsource.git
   cd Spellsource

3. See Spellsource-specific tasks using ./gradlew tasks --group spellsource.
4. Run tests using ./gradlew --no-parallel test
5. Start a local server using ./gradlew netRun
6. Generate project files using ./gradlew idea, then open the project with IntelliJ Community Edition. You can install this with brew cask install intellij-idea-ce.

Getting started with Development on Windows

Requirements: Java 11 or later, Docker, bash and GNU binutils like MinGW that comes with git.

1. Install dependencies:
   1. Java AdoptOpenJDK 11.0.9 or later. During installation, choose to set JAVA_HOME and add java to your PATH.
   2. Docker for Windows Desktop. You will be prompted to enable and install Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2) features, carefully follow those instructions including the new MSI it downloads into your downloads folder.
   3. Git 2.29.2 or later. During installation, choose Use Git and optional Unix tools from the Windows Command Prompt.
   4. PuTTY 0.74 or later. Then, follow the instructions from here starting with "Installing SSH Tools" to get authorization configured for GitHub.
   5. dotnet [3.1](https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/3366b2e6-ed46-48ae-bf7b-f5804f6ee4c9/186f681ff967b509c6c9ad31d3d343da/dotnet-sdk-3.1.404-win-x64.exe
   6. git lfs 2.12.2 or later. ) or later.
2. Right click in the folder where you'd like to store your Spellsource files, then choose Git Bash Here. Then, clone the repository:

   git lfs install
   git clone https://github.com/hiddenswitch/Spellsource.git
   cd Spellsource

3. See Spellsource-specific tasks using TERM=mintty ./gradlew tasks --group spellsource.
4. Run tests using TERM=mintty ./gradlew --no-parallel test
5. Start a local server using TERM=mintty ./gradlew netRun
6. Generate project files using TERM=mintty ./gradlew idea, then open the project with IntelliJ Community Edition. You can install this from here.

Unfortunately, it's true, you have to prefix every gradlew command with TERM=mintty until a bug in Gradle is fixed.

Troubleshooting

I cannot clone the repository.

The GitHub Desktop app is not supported. Please use the git command line commands to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/hiddenswitch/Spellsource.git

I am having issues with Git Submodules, like failures to download

Public users do not have access to the private repositories that fail to download. You can safely ignore those errors. If you'd like to contribute to the private repositories, like the game client, please use the Discord invite link above and discuss with the team there.

I am seeing issues with too many files open.

On macOS, issue the following commands to increase your per-process limits:

sudo sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=5242880
sudo sysctl -w kern.maxfilesperproc=524288
ulimit -n 200000
sudo launchctl limit maxfiles 524288 5242880

testTraces is failing.

You had failures in testRandomMassPlay, the fuzzer for Spellsource. These are real issues.

I uploaded to Steam, but I do not see the build.

Visit the Steam partner's page and promote the build.

I uploaded to TestFlight but the build isn't public yet.

Make sure the Public group is added here.

The Discord bot will not compile due to an error that reads, in part, "Classes that should be initialized at run time got initialized during image building"

Add the class or the package containing it to end of the list of classes in the Args = --initialize-at-build-time=... line to native-image.properties.

You may have to regenerate reflection config using sdkman's Graal distributable. The following commands will fix this issue:

sdk use java 20.1.0.r11-grl
./gradlew --no-daemon clean
./gradlew --no-daemon discordbot:genReflectionProps

./gradlew distSwarm fails with the message of the form:

#13 71.30 FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
#13 71.30 
#13 71.30 * What went wrong:

Make sure to add the sub project directory and any others that need to be visible to Docker to .dockerignore in the form of !directory/*.

discordbot Swarm build (./gradlew distSwarm) fails with com.oracle.svm.driver.NativeImage$NativeImageError: Image build request failed with exit status 137

On macOS and Windows, allocate more memory to your Docker host.

./gradlew net:run hangs with error Caused by: org.testcontainers.containers.ContainerLaunchException: Timed out waiting for log output matching '.*waiting for connections on port.*'

Make sure to use your local docker context using docker context use default.

I receive an error starting the server with gradle net:run of the form:

main ERROR o.t.d.DockerClientProviderStrategy Could not find a valid Docker environment. Please check configuration. Attempted configurations were:
Exception in thread "main" 20200811T112136 main ERROR o.t.d.DockerClientProviderStrategy     UnixSocketClientProviderStrategy: failed with exception InvalidConfigurationException (ping failed). Root cause NoSuchFileException (/var/run/docker.sock)
org.testcontainers.containers.ContainerLaunchException: Container startup failed
main ERROR o.t.d.DockerClientProviderStrategy As no valid configuration was found, execution cannot continue

Restart Docker. Make sure Docker is running.

The MongoDB container doesn't start with gradle net:run with the following error: Timed out waiting for log output matching '.*waiting for connections on port.*'

Try deleting your local database which is automatically bind-mounted to the container at .mongo:

rm -rf .mongo/

I cannot connect to the Hidden Switch cluster to deploy the servers.

You need special authorization for this. It is accessed via an audited API key.

I receive an error related to (sharp:42678): GLib-CRITICAL **: 17:17:14.186: g_hash_table_lookup: assertion 'hash_table != NULL' failed

Delete the NPM modules folder: rm -rf www/npm_modules, then rerun ./gradlew distWWW.
