A distributed online world building game
clone the repo, cd into it, optionally create a virtualenv, then install the required packages:
pip install -r requirements.txt
first run the core server, uses host 0.0.0.0 and port 8080 by default.
python coreserver.py
you can pass in a port and a host with --port {port number} and --host {host name}
then run a server client, listens on 8081 by default, but host and port can be provided as with previous
python serverclient.py
initialize the server client to connect to the core server by running init, giving the server client an id to register with the core server
python init.py "my-server-client"
you can point this command at the previously started core server and server client (but it uses their defaults here as well) by using the following,
--server-client-port {port number} --server-client-host {host name} --core-server-port {port number} --core-server-host {host name}
finally, start a player client, with a client id
python playerclient.py "my-player-client"
you can pass in --position-x and --position-y to give a position on the map to start at, and
--core-server-port {port number} --core-server-host {host name} to point at the core server
Now, from the player client, type commands. Currently there are left, right, up and down to move around the map. Try adding more server clients (up to 4) and player clients
