Desarrollo del backend y la consola de control del videojuego multijugador Go Protest.

Abstract

A video game is the visual part of an entire industry that is dedicated to creating products for entertainment. Go Protest is a free to play game that generates profits and supports its operating costs through the sale of digital consumables. The game requires an ERP system to run the business efficiently. As a preliminary part of the entrepreneurship project, we proceeded to develop the backend of the entire video game and an administration console to automate the operations of the company, which are not visible to the end user, but which allows everything to function properly. A REST API has been developed with Node.js and Apollo Server as GraphQL server to interact efficiently with MongoDB, which is in a database cluster in the cloud, guaranteeing high availability for game users and for Go Protest operators. The administration console has been developed with React and with pure CSS. To guarantee the quality of the code and the security of the backend and the console, Synk and SonarQube were used to correct security vulnerabilities and refactor repetitive and inefficient code. This document shows the procedure and results obtained from the development of the project, as well as the deployment in production of the backend and the control console. In order to achieve flexibility and speed in development, the Scrum methodology was used.
