Distributed Bomberman
Giovanni Rinchiuso • Gioele Santi
sommario
Distributed Bomberman is a real-time, fault-tolerant, multiplayer game inspired by the classic Bomberman arcade title, developed as a project for the Distributed Systems course at the University of Bologna (A.Y. 2024/25). Up to four players compete simultaneously on a shared grid, placing bombs to eliminate opponents. An unlimited number of spectators can observe the match and may request to join as a player when a slot becomes available. The system is built on an authoritative client-server architecture fronted by a session-aware TCP proxy, which hides a primary/backup server pair from clients. State is continuously replicated from the primary to the backup; on primary failure, the backup promotes itself automatically, re-binds the game port, and client sessions are restored transparently by the proxy; a second, independent retry loop on the client covers the failure of the proxy itself. The entire system is implemented in Python 3 using the standard library for networking and Pygame for the graphical client.
