Vortex Client

This is a desktop client made using tauri framework. This client is used by users to play/spectate the games.

Implemented Client Features

• State Management:
  Implemented using Zustand for efficient and scalable state handling across the app.

• Custom WebSocket Context:
  Developed a custom WebSocket context to handle three distinct channels:

  • User Events
  • Player Events
  • Spectator Events

• Smooth Animations:
  UI animations are powered by Framer Motion for a polished and responsive user experience.

🧩 Features

👥 Multiplayer Gameplay

• Play turn-based games with friends or matched players.
• Friends on your list can spectate your games, enhancing community engagement.

🎮 Game Types

• Staked Games

  • Players place a bet on their victory.
  • Spectators can also place bets within the first 5 minutes of the match.

• Normal Games

  • Function exactly like staked games, but without any monetary bets.

🕹 Game Modes

• Create a Lobby

  • Start a private lobby and invite friends to play.
  • Currently supports 2 players (since only Chess is available).

• Find a Match

  • Automatically match with random players.
  • Staked players are only matched with other staked players.

🔁 Replay Feature

• Rewatch completed matches at any time.

  • Normal Games: Restart automatically.
  • Staked Games: Require players to place new bets to restart.

Note: Every match (including replays) is treated as a unique, separate entity.
Bets are evaluated independently for each instance.
