Distributed domino game

Implementation of a domino game using Python, JavaScript and WebSockets for UTP course IS893. There are two parts of the system, the client and the server, which are written in Javascript and Python respectively.

Running the server

Right now you must install the Python dependencies globally 😢 via pip. For this you execute

  pip install socketio eventlet flask

(You should have root permission, e.g. in UNIX-like use sudo -H pip ...)

And to run the server, simply do python main.py inside the server directory.

Running the client

You must have node.js and npm in your machine, if you don't have them already follow these instructions.

Then in a terminal, navigate to the client folder and run npm install to download all dependencies. To start it, run node server.js and the client will be available at http://localhost:8080/ in your browser.

Something important is that you must specify the server's IP (port is 9000) inside the client/public/js/connection.js file in the socketServer const in line 3. By default this is localhost.

Now you can play 🏆
