Arcane Game

Completed

Persistent Java card game engine

A card game engine that persists game state in PostgreSQL so a match can be resumed. Practices OOP and SOLID with DAO/DTO layers, the Factory pattern and enum-based card attributes.

Source code

Java
PostgreSQL
JDBC
SQL

Problem

I wanted to apply OOP and SOLID to a game rules engine, then persist game state so an interrupted match can be resumed where it stopped.

Highlights

Interrupted games are loaded from PostgreSQL and resumed
DAO/DTO layers over JDBC with prepared statements
Three deck types (Alchemy, Element, Quantum) modeled with enums, EnumSet and the Factory pattern
