Effectively, players do not need to maintain connection to the service for the entirety of the game. To prevent games from deadlocking, a customary time limit is enforced (ex. 96 hours). ## Technical Objectives -The web service will provide a RESTful API that is written in PHP 7 and connects to a PostGreSQL database. This connection will be managed behind an abstraction layer using PDO. The service will handle users and their game sessions. In addition, all PHP code shall follow PSR-1, PSR-2, PSR-4, and PSR-5 coding standards. It is also recommended to try to write as immutably as possible. +The web service will provide a RESTful API that is written in PHP 7.0 and connects to a PostGreSQL database.

That doesn't mean you can't help brainstorm at least! There is much about the core functionality that is still up in the air at this point. Please have a look at [the Roadmap](https://github.com/kjhoerr/august-offensive/wiki/Roadmap) for a detailed layout of intended features and / or milestones. |
