FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a related art game server system, and as shown in FIG. 1, a conventional MMO game server system is a system for centrally managing a process group by a central node (Master).
The above game server system has the following drawbacks:
1. the association relation among the devices is too complex, the related processes are more, the number of the devices is inconvenient to be increased by lateral expansion, and the lateral expansion of the game server system is necessary along with the increase of the number of players;
2. the degree of dependence on the central node is high, once the central node fails, the whole game server system cannot continue to provide game service, and even serious problems such as data loss occur;
3. the process of transferring the player character between different game processes or servers with different functions is complex, and the problems of state error and the like are easy to occur.
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present application provides a game server system, and referring to fig. 2, an architecture diagram of a game server system provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. The game server system may include a communication cluster 10, a login service cluster 20, a game service cluster 30, a gateway cluster 40, and a database 50.
The login service cluster 20, the game service cluster 30, and the gateway cluster 40 are respectively connected to the communication cluster 10, the login service cluster 20 and the game service cluster 30 are respectively connected to the database 50, the game service cluster 30 is connected to the gateway cluster 40, and the login service cluster 20 and the gateway cluster 40 are respectively connected to the first game client 60. In the embodiment of the present application, the connection between the clusters and the first game client include a wired communication connection and a wireless communication connection, where the wired communication connection includes a cable connection, an optical fiber connection, and the like, and the wireless communication connection includes an electromagnetic wave communication connection, a microwave communication connection, a satellite communication connection, and the like.
In an alternative embodiment, the game server system may be implemented based on cloud technology.
The first game client device refers to any game client device, and the role of the first game client device is to receive and send data and present game images, for example, the first game client device may be a display device near a user side and having at least a data transmission function, such as a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a game console, a smart watch, a tablet computer, a mobile phone, a television set, and the like, and may also be other terminal devices.
In an alternative embodiment, the first game client device stores a first game client program and is used to present game visuals. The first game client device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface, i.e. the first game client program is conventionally downloaded and installed and run through the electronic device. The manner in which the first game client device provides the graphical user interface to the player may include a variety of ways, for example, may be rendered for display on a display screen of the first game client device, or provided to the player by holographic projection. For example, the first game client device may include a display screen for presenting a graphical user interface including game visuals, and a processor for running the game, generating the graphical user interface, and controlling the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.
In the game server system provided by the embodiment of the application, the following steps are included:
a database 50 for storing game user data. The game user data may specifically include many types of data related to the game user, such as friend relations of the game user, virtual articles held by the game user, game operation records of the game user, and the like, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.
A login service cluster 20 for providing a game user login service to the first game client 60 and reading or storing game user data in a database during the process of providing the game user login service. When a game user enters a game, there are requirements for logging in a game account, creating a character, selecting a character, etc., and these requirements before entering the game can be handled by the login server cluster 20. In the process of processing the login related requirements, if new game user data are generated, the new game user data can be stored in a database; if the existing game user data needs to be obtained, the required game user data can be read from the database.
The game service cluster 30 is used for providing game services to the first game client 60 and reading or storing game user data in a database during the process of providing the game services. The game service cluster 30 may be responsible for implementing the main logic of the game to enable normal operation of the game for each successfully logged-in first game client 60.
A gateway cluster 40 for providing gateway services between the first game client 60 and the game service cluster. The gateway service provided by the gateway cluster 40 is essentially to ensure that the connection between the first game client 60 and the game service cluster, i.e. to ensure that the game user is online, and when the game service cluster 40 switches game servers, to ensure that the first game client 60 does not need to reestablish the connection. In addition, gateway cluster 40 may also provide other network services, such as filtering illegal messages of first game client 60, and so forth.
A communication cluster 10 for providing messaging services between the clusters to the login service cluster 20, the game service cluster 30 and the gateway cluster 40. The communication cluster 10 may provide a messaging mechanism such that process communication between clusters connected to the communication cluster 10 may take place by way of consumed messages. In the embodiment of the present application, the login service cluster 20, the game service cluster 30 and the gateway cluster 40 are all connected with the communication cluster 10, so that the login service cluster 20, the game service cluster 30 and the gateway cluster 40 can transmit messages between each other through the communication cluster 10 based on the message communication mechanism provided by the communication cluster 10.
In the embodiment of the application, the login service, the game service and the gateway service all provide support for the equipment architecture in the form of a cluster, and each node can independently execute tasks in the cluster and can share tasks and data with other nodes. This distributed computing approach of the clusters can greatly increase computing power and reliability, so that the clusters can handle large amounts of data and requests. In addition, the cluster can also provide functions of load balancing, fault tolerance, expansibility and the like, so that the whole game server system has higher availability and expandability.
In the game server system provided by the embodiment of the application, no specific central node or centralized control structure exists. Instead, the control and decision rights in the game server system are distributed to individual node devices or members, enabling the decentralization of the game server system. In a decentralized game server system, each node can independently perform tasks and make decisions while also communicating and cooperating with other nodes. The distributed organization structure can improve the flexibility, the expandability and the reliability of the game server system, so that the game server system is more suitable for complex and dynamic environmental changes.
In the embodiment of the present application, since the communication cluster 10 provides a communication mechanism for service devices in the game server system, and a central node is not required to control and make decisions, the process of the game service system is simplified to include: a login process managed by a login service cluster, a game process managed by a game service cluster and a gateway process managed by a gateway cluster.
In the game server system provided by the embodiment of the application, the communication clusters, the login service clusters, the game service clusters, the gateway clusters and the database are deployed, and the game server system provides the login service, the game service and the gateway service in a cluster form, so that the decentralization of the game server system is realized, the service clusters can be freely and transversely expanded, and the dynamic operation requirement is met. In addition, the game server system provides message communication service among the clusters to the login service cluster, the game service cluster and the gateway cluster through the communication cluster, so that the relation among service processes is decoupled, point-to-point connection is not established among the service processes, the service processes all carry out message communication with the communication cluster, simple and efficient server communication is realized, and the process types in the game server system are simplified into three types of login process, game process and gateway process. In this way, the system architecture and the operating logic of the game server system are simplified, and convenience is provided for subsequent development and maintenance.
Fig. 3 illustrates an architecture schematic diagram of a communication cluster 10 according to an embodiment of the present application, where, as shown in fig. 3, the communication cluster 10 may include M communication servers, where the M communication servers provide messaging services in a distributed computing manner.
In one embodiment, the messaging mechanism provided by the communication cluster 10 may be, in particular, a publish-subscribe mode messaging mechanism. The publish-subscribe mode involves two main roles: publishers and subscribers. Before introducing the publish-subscribe mode, an important concept involved in the mode is first introduced: a topic, also called topic, may be assigned to different types of messages or messages published by different objects.
The workflow of the publish-subscribe mode is as follows:
1. the publisher publishes the message: the publisher sends the message to a topic, also referred to as a message channel or message queue.
2. Subscribers subscribe to the topic: subscribers register listeners to a particular topic to receive notifications when publishers publish messages.
The publisher publishes the message to the topic: when a publisher publishes a message to a topic, all registered subscribers receive corresponding notifications.
The subscriber receives the message: subscribers receive the messages and process them. The manner in which the processing is performed depends on the particular implementation, e.g., storing the message in a database or displaying it in a graphical user interface.
The subscriber unsubscribes: the subscriber may unsubscribe if the subscriber no longer wishes to receive notifications from a topic.
The publisher stops publishing: when a publisher stops publishing a message for a topic, all subscribers will no longer receive notifications from that topic.
In general, a message communication mechanism based on a publish-subscribe scheme may enable loosely coupled messaging so that publishers and subscribers can develop and maintain independently.
In the case where the communication cluster 10 adopts a message communication mechanism in a publish-subscribe mode, each communication server in the communication cluster 10 may respectively manage a part of topics, thereby implementing a distributed management manner.
Based on the foregoing, in an alternative embodiment, the communication cluster 10 is specifically configured to provide a messaging service between the clusters based on a publish-subscribe mechanism to the login service cluster 20, the game service cluster 30, and the gateway cluster 40.
Accordingly, the login service cluster 20 is further configured to subscribe to a first topic of the game service cluster 30 for publishing messages in the communication cluster 10 to receive and process messages published by the game service cluster 30 in the first topic, and to subscribe to a second topic of the gateway cluster 40 for publishing messages in the communication cluster 10 to receive and process messages published by the gateway cluster 40 in the second topic;
The game service cluster 30 is further configured to subscribe to a third topic of the login service cluster 20 for publishing messages in the communication cluster 10, so as to receive and process the messages published in the third topic by the login service cluster 20;
gateway cluster 40 is further configured to subscribe to a fourth topic of login service cluster 20 for publishing messages in communication cluster 10, to receive and process messages published in the fourth topic by login service cluster 20.
In the above embodiment, the third topic and the fourth topic of the login service cluster 20 for publishing messages may be the same topic or different topics, and may be set according to actual requirements, which is not specifically limited herein.
In summary, in the game server system, the login service cluster 20 may be the message subscribers of the game service cluster 30 and the gateway cluster 40, and the game service cluster 30 and the gateway cluster 40 may be the message subscribers of the login service cluster 20.
But wherein the gaming service cluster 30 and gateway cluster 40 may not communicate via communication 10. In an alternative embodiment, the game service cluster 30 and the gateway cluster 40 may be connected by a socket long link. This is because, considering that in practical application, performance consideration is available in the communication between the game service cluster 30 and the gateway cluster 40, if there is excessive performance loss in the data interaction through the communication cluster 10, a socket length link may be established between the game service cluster 30 and the gateway cluster 40, and communication is performed through the socket length link, so as to improve performance of the gateway service and improve user experience.
In addition, in an alternative embodiment, the login service cluster 20 and the first game client 60 may also be connected through a socket length link, so as to ensure that the game user is online for a long time, and avoid a loss of connection performance.
As shown in fig. 2, in the above embodiment, the communication cluster 10 provides a subject message subscription and message publishing mechanism, so that the login service cluster 20 and the game service cluster 30 can perform process communication between a login process and a game process through the message subscription publishing mechanism, and the login service cluster 20 and the gateway cluster 40 can perform process communication between the login process and the gateway process through the message subscription publishing mechanism, without relying on management and scheduling of a central node, thereby simplifying the operation logic of the whole game server system and realizing efficient communication inside the game server system.
Fig. 4 is a schematic architecture diagram of a login service cluster 20 according to an embodiment of the present application, where, as shown in fig. 4, the login service cluster 20 may include P login servers, where P login servers provide a game user login service in a distributed computing manner, and each login server may manage at least one login process.
Fig. 5 illustrates an architecture schematic diagram of a game service cluster 30 according to an embodiment of the present application, where, as shown in fig. 5, the game service cluster 30 may include L game servers, where L game servers provide game services in a distributed computing manner, and each game server may manage at least one game process.
Fig. 6 illustrates an architecture schematic diagram of a gateway cluster 40 according to an embodiment of the present application, where, as shown in fig. 6, the gateway cluster 40 may include K gateway devices, where each gateway device may manage at least one gateway process, and the K gateway devices provide gateway services in a distributed computing manner.
In the embodiment of the present application, due to the flexibility of the cluster form in lateral expansion, the number M of communication servers in the communication cluster 10, the number P of login servers in the login service cluster 20, the number L of game servers in the game service cluster 30, and the number K of gateway devices in the gateway cluster 40 may be expanded or contracted according to actual needs (such as the number of players).
In the embodiment of the present application, for simplicity and understanding of the description, the login server in the login service cluster 20, the game server in the game service cluster 30, and the gateway device in the gateway cluster 40 are sometimes collectively referred to as service devices, and it is to be understood that the description is not limited to the present application.
Accordingly, in the embodiment of the present application, the login service cluster 20 may be further configured to add at least one login server to the login service cluster 20 when the load of each login process managed by the login service cluster 20 is higher than a first preset value or a first capacity expansion instruction for the login service cluster 20 is received;
the game service cluster 30 may be further configured to add at least one game server to the game service cluster 30 when the load of each game process managed by the game service cluster 30 is higher than a second preset value or a second expansion instruction for the game service cluster 30 is received;
the gateway cluster 40 may be further configured to add at least one gateway device to the gateway cluster 40 when the load of each gateway process managed by the gateway cluster 40 is higher than a third preset value or a third capacity expansion instruction for the gateway cluster 40 is received.
In one embodiment, when a situation that the number of players is greater, and the like, so that the service devices are loaded higher in a period of time, the login service cluster 20, the game service cluster 30 and the gateway cluster 40 can be expanded, i.e. laterally expanded, so as to add more service devices.
In another embodiment, when a game issuer attracts users through advertisements, so that a game server system is about to face a large number of registered players, in order to avoid a situation that service equipment load is high and it is difficult to guarantee game experience, the login service cluster 20, the game service cluster 30 and the gateway cluster 40 may be expanded through an expansion instruction.
Similarly, the login service cluster 20 may be further configured to delete at least one login server from the login service cluster 20 when the load of each login process managed by the login service cluster 20 is lower than a fourth preset value or when a first capacity reduction instruction for the login service cluster 20 is received;
the game service cluster 30 may be further configured to delete at least one game server from the game service cluster 30 when the load of each game process managed by the game service cluster 30 is lower than a fifth preset value or a second capacity reduction instruction for the game service cluster 30 is received;
the gateway cluster 40 may be further configured to delete at least one gateway device from the gateway cluster 40 when the load of each gateway process managed by the gateway cluster 40 is lower than a sixth preset value or a third capacity reduction instruction for the gateway cluster 40 is received.
In one embodiment, the login service cluster 20, the game service cluster 30, and the gateway cluster 40 may be expanded, i.e., laterally expanded, when a smaller number of players, etc., are encountered such that the service device is loaded less over a period of time.
In another embodiment, in a situation that the game server system is about to stop providing game services for some players, in order to save hardware resources and save running cost of the game server system, the login service cluster 20, the game service cluster 30 and the gateway cluster 40 may be scaled by a scaling instruction, so as to reduce some service devices.
