Project overview
The main aim of this project will be to set up the backend for a game. A large part of the project will be the configuration that we will carry out in the Azure portal. We will also write some code for the Azure functions that will handle the SignalR connections and a bit of the game logic and state. SignalR is a library that makes real-time communication in applications easier. Azure SignalR is a service that makes it easier to connect multiple clients to send messages via the SignalR library. SignalR is described in more detail later. There will be functions to return information about the SignalR connection, manage matching players to play against each other, and post the result of each player’s turn to the SignalR service.
The following diagram shows an overview of the architecture of this application:
