System Requirements Document (SRD)

Project Name: green-game

1. Introduction

Welcome to the System Requirements Document (SRD) for green-game, a custom digital Ludo game designed to bring a fresh twist to the classic board game. This project, envisioned by Mohammed Kaif from India, focuses on empowering users to customize movement rules, offering a unique and personalized gameplay experience.

The green-game project aims to redefine traditional Ludo by integrating flexibility and creativity, allowing players to predefine movement rules before starting a game. This document outlines the system requirements to ensure the successful development and deployment of the green-game platform.

2. System Overview

The green-game platform is a digital Ludo game where users can customize movement rules to create unique gameplay experiences. The system will include:

• A user-friendly interface for defining movement rules.
• An API supervisor to pre-resolve movement rules and ensure fair gameplay.
• Multiplayer functionality for competitive or cooperative play.
• Localization settings tailored for the Indian audience, including timezone (IST) and currency (INR) for any in-game purchases or rewards.

The system will be developed using modern technologies, ensuring scalability, reliability, and responsiveness across web and mobile platforms.

3. Functional Requirements

Story Points:

• As a User, I should be able to customize movement rules before starting a game.
• As a User, I should be able to view predefined movement rules resolved by the API supervisor.
• As a User, I should be able to save and reuse custom movement rule sets for future games.
• As a User, I should be able to invite friends to play multiplayer games with customized rules.
• As a User, I should be able to view a tutorial explaining how to customize movement rules.
• As an Admin, I should be able to monitor and manage rule customization settings to ensure fair play.
• As an Admin, I should be able to resolve disputes or conflicts arising from rule customization.

4. User Personas

1. User

Casual or competitive players who enjoy Ludo and want to experiment with custom movement rules. They value creativity and flexibility in gameplay.

2. Admin

System supervisors responsible for ensuring fair play, resolving disputes, and managing the integrity of the rule customization system.

5. Visuals Colors and Theme

Color Palette:

The green-game platform will feature a vibrant and playful color scheme inspired by the energy and excitement of Ludo.

• Background: #F5F9F6 (Soft Mint Green)
• Surface: #E8F0E6 (Light Sage Green)
• Text: #2D3A2E (Deep Forest Green)
• Accent: #FFD700 (Golden Yellow)
• Muted Tones: #A6B8A0 (Muted Olive Green)

6. Signature Design Concept

Concept: Interactive Game Board with Dynamic Rule Visualization

The homepage of green-game will feature an interactive digital Ludo board that visually adapts to the user's customized movement rules.

Key Features:

• Dynamic Animations: As users tweak movement rules, the board will animate to demonstrate the changes in real-time (e.g., pieces moving differently based on dice rolls).
• Rule Highlights: Hovering over specific board sections will display tooltips explaining the active movement rules for that area.
• Color Shifts: The board's colors will subtly shift based on the user's chosen theme, creating a personalized aesthetic.
• Micro-Interactions: Dice rolls will include satisfying sound effects and animations, while pieces will "bounce" or "slide" based on the movement rules.
• Gamified Tutorial: A playful tutorial will guide users through customizing rules, using animations and interactive prompts.

This bold design ensures the platform is visually captivating and immediately communicates the unique customization features of green-game.

7. Non-Functional Requirements

• Performance: The system must handle up to 10,000 concurrent users without significant latency.
• Scalability: The platform should be scalable to accommodate future features like additional rule customization options or new game modes.
• Security: User data, including saved rule sets, must be encrypted and securely stored.
• Localization: The system should support Indian localization settings, including IST timezone and INR currency.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: The game must function seamlessly on both web and mobile platforms.

8. Tech Stack

Frontend:

• React for Web
• React Native for Mobile App

Backend:

• Python
• FastAPI

Database:

• MySQL or MariaDB (using Alembic for migrations)

AI Models:

• GPT 5.4 for user-friendly responses

AI Tools:

• Langchain
• Litellm for LLM Routing

Orchestration:

• Docker and docker-compose for local orchestration
• Kubernetes for server-side orchestration

9. Assumptions and Constraints

Assumptions:

• Users will primarily access the platform from India, so localization settings will default to IST timezone and INR currency.
• Movement rules customization will be limited to predefined options to ensure fair gameplay.

Constraints:

• The system must comply with data protection regulations applicable in India.
• Customization options must be intuitive and easy to use, even for casual players.

10. Glossary

• API Supervisor: A backend system responsible for pre-resolving movement rules to ensure fair play.
• Movement Rules: Customizable rules that dictate how pieces move on the Ludo board.
• Localization: Adapting the platform to Indian-specific settings like timezone and currency.
• Micro-Interactions: Small animations or sound effects that enhance user experience.
