# HotPocket Consensus Engine
## What's here?
*In development*
A C++ version of hotpocket designed for production envrionments, original prototype here: https://github.com/codetsunami/hotpocket
## Libraries
* Crypto - Libsodium https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium
* jsoncons (for JSON and BSON) - https://github.com/danielaparker/jsoncons
* P2P Protocol - https://google.github.io/flatbuffers
* Fuse filesystem - https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse
* Reader Writer Queue - https://github.com/cameron314/readerwriterqueue
* Concurrent Queue - https://github.com/cameron314/concurrentqueue
* Boost Stacktrace - https://www.boost.org
## Setting up HotPocket development environment
Run the setup script located at the repo root (tested on Ubuntu 20.04).
```
./dev-setup.sh
```
## Build HotPocket
1. Run `cmake .` (You only have to do this once)
1. Run `make` (HotPocket binary will be created as `./build/hpcore`)
1. Refer to the Wiki for instructions on running HotPocket.
## FlatBuffers message definitions
If you update flatbuffers message definitions, you need to run the flatbuffers code generator to update the stubs.
Example: When you make a change to `p2pmsg.fbs` defnition file, you need to run this:
`flatc -o src/msg/fbuf/ --gen-mutable --cpp src/msg/fbuf/p2pmsg.fbs`
## Code structure
Code is divided into subsystems via namespaces.
**conf::** Handles configuration. Loads and holds the central configuration object. Used by most of the subsystems.
**crypto::** Handles cryptographic activities. Wraps libsodium and offers convenience functions.
**sc::** Handles smart contract process execution and managing user/SC I/O and npl I/O. Makes use of **usr**, **p2p** and **hpfs**.
**usr::** Handles user connections. Makes use of **crypto** and **comm**.
**p2p::** Handles peer-to-peer connections and message exchange between nodes. Makes use of **crypto** and **comm**.
**consensus::** Handles consensus and proposal rounds. Makes use of **usr**, **p2p** and **sc**
**ledger::** Maintains the ledger and handles ledger syncing activites.
**comm::** Handles generic web sockets communication functionality. Mainly acts as a wrapper for [hpws](https://github.com/RichardAH/hpws).
**util::** Contains shared data structures/helper functions used by multiple subsystems.
**hpfs::** [hpfs](https://github.com/HotPocketDev/hpfs) state management client helpers.
