Service Overview
The Example Game Service allows Android and iPhone users to play a game with each other. The app runs on users’ phones, and moves are sent back to the API via a REST API. The data store contains the states of all current and previous games. A score pipeline reads this table and generates up-to-date league tables for today, this week, and all time. League table results are available in the app, via the API, and also on a public HTTP server.
The SLO uses a four-week rolling window.
