Player Registration

To participate in the Microservice Dungeon, players register once using a unique playerName. Each player receives a unique playerId upon registration, which identifies the player across the entire application. To take part in a game, a player joins an open game using their playerId.

FAQ

I have already registered with my playerName but have forgotten the playerId.
  • The log-compacted Kafka topic db.player.ecst.v1 contains all registrations that have ever taken place. If the playerName is to be reused, the corresponding event must be identified. Checkout the AsyncAPI for details.
