Cloud gaming (game streaming) platform

Why Choose This Project?

Cloud gaming is revolutionizing the way users play games by shifting the heavy processing workload from personal devices to the cloud. Instead of requiring powerful gaming PCs or consoles, players can stream games in real time to lightweight clients (laptops, tablets, or even smartphones).

This project teaches students real-time video streaming, GPU utilization in the cloud, low-latency networking, and scalable infrastructure management, making it highly relevant to both cloud computing and entertainment industries.

What You Get

Cloud-hosted gaming servers with GPU acceleration
Real-time video encoding/decoding for smooth gameplay
Low-latency streaming using WebRTC or RTMP
Cross-platform clients (web, mobile, desktop)
User authentication and game library management
Scalable infrastructure to handle multiple concurrent players
Performance monitoring (latency, FPS, bandwidth usage)
Cloud storage for saved games and player data

Working Flow

User Login & Game Selection
- Player logs in via web/mobile client using AWS Cognito/Firebase.
- Player selects a game from the library.
Cloud Gaming Session Setup
- A GPU-enabled EC2 instance (or containerized server) is launched.
- Game assets are streamed from S3/Blob Storage.
Game Streaming
- The game runs on the cloud server.
- Video output is encoded using NVENC and streamed to the client over WebRTC.
- User inputs (keyboard, mouse, controller) are sent back to the server with minimal latency.
Adaptive Streaming
- CloudFront/Edge servers adjust video quality based on user bandwidth.
Game Progress Storage
- User progress, achievements, and saves are stored in S3/DB.
Monitoring & Scaling
- CloudWatch tracks performance and resource usage.
- Auto Scaling provisions more GPU servers if player demand increases.
Session Termination
- When a player exits, the cloud server shuts down (to save costs).
