Round 112

General

• Upgrade from Laravel version 7 to Laravel version 11.
• Aggressively trimmed a lot of old and unused Laravel packages.
• Lots of backend changes, the impact of which should be that the game runs the same or slightly faster. Probably bugs.
• A little indicator will now show up when the game is ticking. It goes away automatically when the tick has finished.
• Gravatar dropped (outdated package and a privacy concern). You can either upload your own avatar or generate an avatar by going to the Settings page.
• On the Invade page, OP will appear green if you are sending OP greater than the target’s DP, red if you don’t, and nasty-looking brown-ish orange if the target is fogged.
• Other minor UI/UX fixes.
• Migrated to new server and added support for IPv6.
• Multithreaded ticks: instead of each dominion ticking simultaneously, the game will now queue up all dominions to tick, and then run several of them in parallel.
• Push notification: some browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Brave) will/may ask if you want to accept push notifications. If you accept, you will/may receive push notifications when invaded. This is just very early testing. If you don’t want to be asked, simply say no, and instruct your browser to not ask you again.

API

A few API endpoints have been created. No authentication is required. You can simply GET them. There is a throttle limit on them and Cloudflare might get angry if you overdo it. Proper API docs will come at some point.

• /api/v1/is-round-ticking returns true or false depending on whether the round is ticking.
• /api/v1/server-time returns the server time.

• /api/v1/realm/{realmId}/dominions returns the dominion IDs of all dominions in that realm.
• /api/v1/dominion/{dominionId} returns the dominion (as a JSON object), if the round has ended.
• /api/v1/dominion/{dominionId}/{model} returns the relationship (if any) between a dominion and the model, for example /dominion/123/building returns the dominion buildings.
• /api/v1/dominion/{dominionId}/queues returns all the queues for the dominion.
