@playnation/game-sdk

Overview

This is an SDK for integrating games into Playnation.

The first SDK version follows the concept from game-sdk-example.

Online Demo: https://playnation-sdk-demo.netlify.app

Concepts

• Connect game on the iframe with postMessage and window listening.
• The game will interact with the game server through the SDK and parent window.

Play the game

What is implemented in the game.ts or game-farming.ts:

Init flow: Get basic information

• init()
• getSDKVersion()
• getPlayer()
• getTournament()

Play casual game flow

• play() start the game
• trackScore() on playing
• signResult() sign and submit the result
• getPlayer() to retrieve player data

Play farming game

• play() start the game
• signPayload() sign to get the game state with secret key from the game
• updateState() update signed payload every time the game state changes

How to use

Run the example

clone this repository and run the example:

git clone
cd ./examples/iframe-implementation
yarn && yarn dev

Quick start

Include the SDK in your HTML file:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@playnation/game-sdk@latest/browser/sdk.js"></script>

Create a JavaScript file (e.g., main.js) with something like this example below:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', async () => {
  const sdk = window.PlaynationGameSDK;
  
  // Run on init
  const initParams = { clientId: 'your-client-id' };
  const initResponse = await sdk.init(initParams);
  console.log('SDK Initialized:', initResponse);

  // Get SDK version
  const version = sdk.getVersion();
  console.log('SDK Version:', version);

  // Get player information
  let player = await sdk.getPlayer();
  console.log('Player Info:', player);

  // Get tournament information
  const tournament = await sdk.getTournament();
  console.log('Tournament Info:', tournament);

  // Play the game
  async function playGame() {
    // Start the game play
    const playResponse = await sdk.play();
    console.log('Play Response:', playResponse);

    // Track score
    await sdk.trackScore(playResponse.token, 100);
    console.log('Score tracked');

    // Sign result
    const signedResult = await sdk.signResult(playResponse.token, 'game-token', 100);
    console.log('Signed Result:', signedResult);
    
    // Get player information
    player = await sdk.getPlayer();
  }
});

Implementation

Methods

init(params: SDKInitParams): Promise<{ currentTimestamp: string }>

Initializes the SDK with the given parameters.

• params: Initialization parameters.
• Returns: A promise that resolves with the current timestamp.

getVersion(): string

Gets the SDK version.

• Returns: The SDK version.

getPlayer(): Promise<Player>

Gets the player information.

• Returns: A promise that resolves with the player information.
• player: Player information will include the following fields:
  • id: The player ID.
  • name: The player name.
  • totalScore: The player's total score.
  • highScore: The player's highest score.
  • balanceNPS: The player's NPS.
  • energy: The player's energy.
  • gameEnergy: Energy cost each play time.
  • pointConversionRate: The point conversion rate.
  • state: The latest state in case farming game.

getTournament(): Promise<Tournament | undefined>

Gets the tournament information.

• Returns: A promise that resolves with the tournament information or undefined if no tournament is found.

play(): Promise<PlayResponse>

Starts the game play. Note: This method will return a token that should be used to track the score and sign the result.

• Returns: A promise that resolves with the play response.

trackScore(gamePlayId: string, score: number): Promise<void>

Tracks the score for a given game play.

• gamePlayId: The game play ID.
• score: The score to track.

• gameToken: The game token.
• score: The score to sign.
• Returns: A promise that resolves with the signed result.

updateState(payload: UpdateStatePayload): Promise<boolean>

• Returns: A promise that resolves with a boolean indicating success.

signPayload(payload: any, key: string): Promise<any>

Signs a payload with a given key.

Development

Develop with example

Develop game iframe:

cd ./examples/iframe-implementation
yarn && yarn dev

You also develop your game from the example by modifying the index.html file. Change the src attribute of the iframe to your game URL.

<button class="game-button" data-url="[your-game-url]" type="button">Casual Game</button>
<button class="game-button" data-url="[your-game-url]" type="button">Farming Game</button>

Build example:

cd ./examples/iframe-implementation
yarn && yarn build

Develop SDK:

Example will use the SDK from the src folder in the root directory instead of from node_modules.

cd ./examples/iframe-implementation
yarn && yarn dev:source

Build SDK

yarn && yarn build
