Prove you can build and operate real-time game features — channels, presence, pub/sub, delivery guarantees and production liveops — on the stack itself. Certified through tyga.games, delivered on ClassaaS.
OddSockets authored this stream on its own live product source, and is the pilot that sets the pattern the other tyga.games streams follow. The syllabus is the real thing — the same primitives production games and sibling SaaS products run on.
Each tier is an exam draw; TCP additionally requires a graded build in your own game.
Six modules, M0 through M5.
| Module | Title | Tier |
|---|---|---|
M0 | Why realtime — the live-game problem OddSockets solves | TCU |
M1 | Concepts & model — channels, presence, pub/sub, delivery guarantees | TCU |
M2 | Quickstart — SDK/API hands-on (agent-driven) | TCA |
M3 | Build task — add a realtime feature to your own game (graded) | TCA |
M4 | Liveops & production — fan-out, reconnection, backpressure, scale | TCP |
M5 | Dogfood proof — how the studio games ride OddSockets | TCP |
One free enrolment covers the whole ladder — TCU, TCA and TCP are gated inside the single OddSockets course. Exams are drawn 8-of-12 per attempt, 70% to pass, 15-day retake cooldown, valid 3 years.
Building on OddSockets now? Start with the agent quickstart and the Node.js SDK docs — that's exactly what M2–M3 grade.
