• GameMove.java — Single move (row, col, piece, playerId, timestamp)
• ClientSide.java — Player connection state (nickname, status, role)

Enums:

• ServerEventCode — client→server action codes
• ClientEventCode — server→client response codes
• PieceType — EMPTY, BLACK, WHITE

• GomokuAI.java — AI move selection (Easy/Medium/Hard)

Utilities:

• ListUtils, OptionsUtils, StreamUtils

Dispatch (typed records):

• ClientRequest — Sealed interface representing all possible client requests (14 variants)
• Record types: SetNicknameRequest, CreateRoomRequest, CreatePveRoomRequest, GetRoomsRequest, JoinRoomRequest, GameStartingRequest, GameReadyRequest, GameMoveRequest, GameResetRequest, WatchGameRequest, WatchGameExitRequest, ClientExitRequest, ClientOfflineRequest, SetClientInfoRequest

Build Configuration

Gradle (Java)

Files:

• server/build.gradle.kts — standalone Gradle build script (Kotlin DSL)
• server/settings.gradle.kts — root project name (caro-server)
• server/gradle/wrapper/ — committed wrapper (Gradle 9.2.1)
• server/gradlew / server/gradlew.bat — wrapper launchers

Coordinates: com.miti99.caro:caro-server:0.0.1

Plugins:

• java — standard Java plugin
• com.google.protobuf:0.9.6 — protobuf code generation
• com.gradleup.shadow:8.3.8 — fat jar packaging

Toolchain: JavaLanguageVersion.of(25) — Gradle auto-provisions Java 25 if missing.

Dependencies:

• io.netty:netty-all:4.1.128.Final — async networking
• com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java:3.25.5 — binary serialization, generated code
• com.google.protobuf:protoc:3.25.5 — protobuf compiler (build time)
• org.junit:junit-bom:5.11.4 (platform) + org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter — testing

Shadow jar config:

• Main class: com.miti99.caro.server.SimpleServer
• No special command-line args (server defaults to port 1999)
• mergeServiceFiles() — preserve Netty SPIs
• Excludes signing metadata (*.SF, *.DSA, *.RSA)

Build Command:

./server/gradlew -p server clean build
# Produces: server/build/libs/caro-server-0.0.1.jar (shaded fat jar)

Vite (JavaScript)

File: client/package.json

Package: caro-client 0.0.1

Scripts:

• npm run dev — Dev server (port 5173, hot reload)
• npm run build — Production build to dist/
• npm run preview — Preview production build
• npm run proto:gen — Regenerate protobuf code from server .proto files (uses pbjs + pbts)

Dependencies:

• phaser ^3.87.0 — Game engine
• protobufjs ^7.5.4 — JavaScript protobuf codec
• vite ^6.3.1 — Bundler (dev-only)
• @protobufjs/cli ^1.1.3 — Protobuf code generator (dev-only)

Output: client/dist/ (index.html + bundled JS, ~1.5 MB / 346 KB gzipped)

Testing

Test Framework: JUnit 5 (org.junit.jupiter.api)

Test Files:

1. server/src/test/java/com/miti99/caro/common/helper/tests/GomokuHelperTest.java — 29 tests (win detection, edges, draw, game flow)
2. server/src/test/java/com/miti99/caro/common/robot/tests/GomokuAITest.java — 8 tests (Easy/Medium/Hard AI)

Run Tests:

./server/gradlew -p server clean test

Coverage: ~100% for game logic (Board, GomokuHelper, GomokuAI)
