the client never receives individual commands in a battle - SectorManager has receiveSectorState, receiveCompressedSectorState and a heartbeat, and nothing else. so everything the opponent does has to reach the player inside server state, which means the server needs to be able to speak first. it could not: the rpc only ever answered. the gateway now runs a ticker for the length of a battle, calling a new battle_tick on the service five times a second and writing whatever it returns straight to the socket. the simulation stays in the service and the socket stays in the gateway. the first rider is emotes. the player's SendBattleEventMessage reaches the service instead of being logged and dropped, and the bot answers with a taunt of its own; it also sends one unprompted every twelve to thirty seconds, drawn from the rows of taunts.csv that TauntMenu marks as usable. the reply carries the opponent account so it renders on their side of the arena. |

scroll-server
A server for the scroll client (Clash Royale 2.0.1306, iOS). Takes a real
client from TCP connect to the lobby: login, own home data, chests, card
upgrades, the shop.
Requirements
- Rust 1.75+
- PostgreSQL 16
Running
createdb scroll
cargo run --release -p scroll-server
Listens on 0.0.0.0:9339, the port the client hardcodes. The schema is created
on first boot. DATABASE_URL defaults to postgres:///scroll.
On macOS a Homebrew cluster may need LC_ALL=C to start at all.
That runs everything in one process. For real isolation, SCROLL_MODE=supervised
makes it spawn the three services as child processes and restart any that dies,
with backoff:
SCROLL_MODE=supervised ./target/release/scroll-server
They can also be started by hand, in any order:
cargo run --release -p auth-service
cargo run --release -p game-service
cargo run --release -p gateway
Checking it without a phone
scroll-probe speaks the same protocol and prints the decoded lobby:
cargo run --release -p gateway --bin scroll-probe -- 127.0.0.1:9339
Flags: --claim-free-chest, --buy-chest <name>, --desync. Pass an account
and pass token to reconnect as an existing player:
scroll-probe 127.0.0.1:9339 0 1 <passtoken>.
Pointing a client at it
The client hardcodes game.clashroyaleapp.com. Patch that string in the binary
inside the ipa to your machine's address, keeping the 23 byte slot NUL padded so
nothing around it moves.

Shop
config/shop.json lists what the server sells, as Name#count:
{
"offers": [
{ "id": 1, "give": "Gold#1000" },
{ "id": 5, "give": "chest:Gold#1" },
{ "id": 7, "give": "Diamonds#500", "cost": "Gold#20000" }
]
}
Names resolve against the csv tables. cost is optional; without it the server
charges the same price the client computes from the game data.
