CTORGame - Multiplayer Online Game

CTORGame is a modern multiplayer online strategy game with an original ruleset. It has a distant family resemblance to Tic-Tac-Toe in its pattern-building goal, but the actual gameplay is far more variable: players act on a 10x10 toroidal board, make multiple decisions per turn, manage automatic piece replacement, and navigate a much richer tactical space. The project demonstrates a deep understanding of distributed systems, real-time data processing, and interactive user interfaces. Players can create rooms, join by code, and play online using advanced mechanics.

Key features:

• Original game mechanics: 10x10 toroidal board, two operations per turn, automatic piece replacement, complex score tracking, and many more viable tactical branches than a simple grid game.
• Real online gameplay: Creating rooms, joining by code, real-time updates, turn and status notifications.
• Reliability and persistence: Automatic game saving, ability to resume interrupted games, anonymity, state preservation after server restart.
• Game history and replays: Full game replays with VCR-like controls, turn navigation, strategy analysis.
• Scalable architecture: Client-server model on React/Node.js, distributed state with Redis, Socket.IO for real-time communication, Docker for containerization, and CI/CD with GitHub Actions.
