Not sure how I feel about the name but that's what I landed on ... good enough for now.
If you know about BattleSnake, you're most of the way there. I've taken a lot of ideas and concepts from there and applied them here. If you haven't, however, SaaS/BattleSnake is a coding competition where teams or individuals build "AI controlled" snakes (classic Snake) which duke it out on a board.
The game service actually runs the games being played. Clients connect to the service via Websockets. I'm honestly not sure about this part... but it works.
This is largely feature incomplete. Basic functionality is there but there's still a lot to do/implement (custom food/gold spawning strats. for example).
I suggest running it inside a venv
- install
venv-pip install virtualenv(I hear they come pre-packaged with Python3 - although I haven't even tried running this with Python 3) - create the virtualenv -
virtualenv . --python=python2.7 - start the virtualenv
source bin/activate - install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt - create
.env(see.env.examplefor required params) - start service
python app.py
It's kind of pointless to run this against a different RDS/Redis from the api, so you can grab/share most of the .env params from/with that. This pretty much only supports PostgreSQL because of the hand-written queries in queries.py (although I'm pretty sure most of what I wrote is ANSI compat.)
- Python 🤔
- PostgreSQL
- Websockets (Socket.IO)
PRs welcome but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's just a hobby project.
