This is for exploring GoogleCloudPlatform agones.

More info at https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/agones.

This example is a simple Ping/Pong websocket example. The websocket could be used to stream game data to a JS game client.

GKE

Start a new cluster. I just use the defaults. Run the gcloud command to add the cluster to your kubeconfig.

kubectl create clusterrolebinding serviceaccounts-cluster-admin \
  --clusterrole=cluster-admin \
  --group=system:serviceaccounts

kubectl create clusterrolebinding cluster-admin-binding \
  --clusterrole cluster-admin --user `gcloud config get-value account`

 gcloud compute firewall-rules create game-server-firewall \
  --allow tcp:7000-8000 \
  --description "agones-simple example firewall to allow game server tcp traffic"

Install agones

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/agones/raw/release-0.2.0/install/yaml/install.yaml

Building

Find and replace YOUR_PROJECT_ID in the Go and YAML files with your gcr.io repository project ID. I used the same project that my GKE cluster was created in to make accessing the image repository easy.

sed -i 's/YOUR_PROJECT_ID/example-123456/g' *

make build

make build-image

Push Images

make push-image

Deploying

kubectl apply -f yaml/launcher.yaml

kubectl get -n simple-launcher service

Testing

Now visit the simple-launcher service. You should see a link to create a new gameserver. After clicking the link, a new gameserver will be created.

The details for the gameserver will load and you will get another link to access the new gameserver instance.

The gameserver instance is a VueJs/WebSocket single page that has a Ping/Pong app that talks to the gameserver. It also has a button for stoppind the gameserver.
