Tower Defense Backend Code Overview

Overview

The backend is a Flask application using SQLAlchemy for ORM and modular Blueprints for each feature. The “points” system is a core part of the game, tracking user scores or in-game currency.

Points Model

  • Purpose: Stores and manages each user’s points.
  • Integration: Imported and used in main.py and other modules.
  • Database: Each entry links a user to their points value.
  • Backup/Restore: Included in backup and restore operations for persistence.

Points API

  • Blueprint: Registered as points_api in main.py.
  • Endpoints: Provides RESTful routes to get and update user points.
  • Usage: Allows the frontend to fetch and modify points for gameplay, rewards, and leaderboards.

Architecture Integration

  • Modular Design: Each feature (users, points, etc.) has its own model and API.
  • Data Management: Points are included in backup, restore, and data extraction commands.
  • Security: Endpoints can be protected with authentication as needed.

Summary

The Points API and model provide a robust, modular way to manage user scores in the tower defense game, supporting core gameplay and administrative features in the Tower Defense backend.
