gameserver app is the core application of this django project. It is used for managing the settings, url patterns, etc.
gamechannels app is responsible for handling the request for websocket connections to this server.
All the consumers are defined in gamechannels/consumers.py. Currently we have just one consumer, which is responsible for handling connectins at route ws/connect/ (route defined in gamechannels/routing.py).
This consumer processes requests from each individual player who is interested in playing a game.
Each new player who requests to start a new game, is queued up in QueueThread. Players are queued to different buckets according to their ratings. (Currently, rating functionality is not implemented. Thus, all players are assumed to have a rating of 1000.) QueueThread iterates through all buckets, and pairs up players placed in same bucket. It starts a new game, and sends an event to both the player channels indicating that the game has been started.
This thread is responsible for maintaining health checks, and update details about the status of the server to master server.
