IGWOCTISI Server
Game server for IGWOCTISI game. It was developed as a team project on the last term of my Bachelor's Degree studies. It was based on the then-popular web browser Warlight, and shares most of the rules, with single exception: it takes place in the space.
More information about the game itself is in the main repo.
A few words about technology used
Server is written using pure Python 2.7, with SQLAlchemy being single external exception. It utilizes builtin threading and socket modules in order to communicate with game clients and manage multiple game states.
At the time (2013) I wasn't using Python on the daily basis - I chose this language because I wanted to learn something new, and it looked awesome (and it still does). That may make the code slightly... unreadable, not documented and not following lint rules (frankly, the first thing I noticed after two years was lack of requirements.txt or any other list of external dependencies).
For example, you can see me reinvent the wheel a few times (Common.console_message instead of logging, parsing arguments manually in Server.py instead of using argparse etc.). And I don't want to know what I was thinking with those tabs instead of standard 4-space indentation, really.
Still, it was pretty fun project for me. And for the rest of the team, although they were using some inferior different tools. Again, see main repo for more on this.
Setup
As it is with Python, you should run everything inside virtualenv. (My current stack is pyenv + virtualenvwrapper.) Install SQLAlchemy (either 0.7 or 0.8), and then run Server.py.
Arguments
Usage:
python Server.py [optional-arguments...] host [port]Host defaults to 0.0.0.0, and port defaults to 23456.
Arguments:
--debug: more verbosity--database: connect to external MySQL database--logging: save logs to external file (useful for debugging purposes)
Config
Create Config.py and fill it with some data. The only thing that is used right now is database configuration (I don't believe that will change in the future).
Example file:
DATABASE = {
'host': 'localhost',
'username': 'igwoctisi',
'password': 'z0mg',
'database': 'igwoctisi',
