// ToolUp Tuesday - #6

Chris and Matt bring their game application components together in this ToolUp Tuesday session. They start by reviewing the existing services — the Go-based player decisions API and the .NET world event engine — and identify that the player state service may be redundant now that Dapr handles state management. After clarifying their data model through use case documentation in Markdown, they define the game loop: players enroll, world events fire on a tick schedule, players submit decisions, and the engine reconciles state. The bulk of the session focuses on integrating Dapr’s state management API into the .NET player state service, implementing save, get, and delete state operations backed by Azure Table Storage. They also tackle VS Code debugging configuration, setting up launch.json and tasks.json for multi-service debugging with Dapr sidecars. The session ends with inter-service communication via Dapr working, setting up the next episode for cross-service calls between Go and .NET.
