A skribbl.io alternative - Play at https://scribblers-official.herokuapp.com/

Scribble.rs

Scribble.rs is an alternative to the web-based drawing game skribbl.io. My main problems with skribbl.io were the ads and the fact that a disconnect would cause you to lose your points. On top of that, the automatic word choice was quite annoying and caused some frustration.

The site will not display any ads or share any data with third parties.

  Might not respond right-away, just wait some seconds / minutes, as it shuts down automatically when unused.

Hosting your own instance for free

By using Heroku, you can deploy a temporary container that runs scribble.rs. The container will not have any cost and automatically suspend as soon as it stops receiving traffic for a while.

Simply create an account at https://id.heroku.com/login and then click this link:

https://heroku.com/deploy?template=https://github.com/scribble-rs/scribble.rs/tree/master

Building / Running

Run the following to build the application:

git clone https://github.com/scribble-rs/scribble.rs.git
cd scribble.rs

For -nix systems:

# run `make` to see all available commands
make build

For Windows:

go run github.com/gobuffalo/packr/v2/packr2
go build -o scribblers .

This will produce a portable binary called scribblers. The binary doesn't have any dependencies and should run on every system as long as it has the same architecture and OS family as the system it was compiled on.

The default port will be 8080. The parameter portHTTP allows changing the port though.

It should run on any system that go supports as a compilation target.

This application uses go modules, therefore you need to make sure that you have go version 1.13 or higher.

Docker

Alternatively there's a docker container:

docker pull biosmarcel/scribble.rs

Changing default port

The default port is 8080. To override it, run:

docker run -p <port-number>:<port-number> biosmarcel/scribble.rs --portHTTP=<port-number>
