A large scale ranking server
Its a server that provides ranking functionality for a large group of players. It is primarily designed for online games that might need to record the scores of their users and provide this in real-time to them. The various instances of the game update the server whenever a ranking changes. The rankings are then calculated and saved. When a ranking is required the server is queried and the rank of a player or a particular range is returned. It is designed for a large number of players who perform frequent actions that change their ranking and need to view the ranking in real-time.
The basic server is written in node.js communicating with a redis backend.
How do I connect with it
two features are provided at present
a POST to http://localhost:8888/updatePlayerRanking
with post data containing
"playerNum=xx&rank=xx" updates the ranking while a GET from
http://localhost:8888/getPlayerRanking?playerNum=xx
returns the current ranking of the player
redis-node querystring
an installed redis server on the localhost
this project only got started a couple of days ago so its in its infancy and may hurt your eyes...
