Scoreboard Microservice

The Scoreboard microservice takes a list of scores for a game of FishBowl and produces a scoreboard popup.

Use the following code examples to implement a communication pipeline with the Scoreboard microservice in your program:

SOCKET SETUP

Use the following code to initialize a ZeroMQ request socket:

# Create context

context = zmq.Context()

# Connect to "Scoreboard" microservice socket (5000)

socket = context.socket(zmq.REQ)
socket.connect("tcp://localhost:5000")

REQUEST DATA

Use the following code to send a request to the Scoreboard microservice, containing a list of FishBowl team scores (in order of team number):

# Prepare a list of team scores

scores_list = [1,2,3,4]

# Send list of team scores
# MUST use .send_json()

socket.send_json(test_list)

RECEIVE DATA

Use the following code to receive a response message from the Scoreboard microservice:

NOTE: The socket MUST receive a response from the response socket (i.e., the Scoreboard microservice) before it continues execution to return it to the appropriate state.

# Save response message to a variable
# MUST use .recv_string() method

response = socket.recv_string()
