Spike: A multiplayer-mode for Doppelkopf
I'm not good at thinking things through without having something to play around with.

This is a basic flask project serving a view that contains some JavaScript WebSocket code. The flask backend is using Flask-Sockets to handle WebSocket connections.
Starting the naked flask server (using flask run or pipenv run flask run) won't work here. Run the following to get started:
pipenv install
./start.sh
...and then go check out http://localhost:8000 and open your browser console.
