Developed by Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute (SEI), Gameboard is a flexible web platform that provides game design capabilities and a competition-ready user interface. The Gameboard API works in conjunction with the Gameboard UI web client to deliver a full competition environment.

The Gameboard API requires the .NET Core 6.0 framework.

1. Install .Net Core SDK 6.0
2. Start the application using the following command: dotnet run
3. Browse to http://localhost:5002/api

Review the appsettings.conf file. Put alterations in appsettings.Development.conf, which cascades on top of appsettings.conf. Recommended dev settings can be found at the bottom of the appsettings.conf file.

The gameboard requires an OIDC Identity server. Configuring Identity is outside the scope of this Readme. However, if using our IdentityServer, the test/oidc-dev.http provides a quick configuration (using vs-code and it's Rest Client extension).

The API leverages a "GameEngine" service to orchestrate any virtualized challenge resources. This is currently implemented by the TopoMojo Api. You will need to an api-key from TopoMojo.
