Based on Real Time Risk by davidMcneil

Note: Must have python and pygame installed

To Start Game:

• unzip directory into desired location, this path is hence called directory

Linux

• open terminal
• "cd directory"

Start a server:

• run "python server.py arg1 arg2"
  • arg1 = port number
  • arg2 = number of players 1-4
• ex.) "python server.py 5555 3" starts game on port 5555 with 3 players

Start specified number of clients one for each player:

• run "python client.py arg1 arg2"
  • arg1 = host machines IP address
  • arg2 = port number same as server
• ex.) "python client.py 127.0.0.1 5555" connects to local-host on port 5555

Note: Game only starts after all clients have connected

Game Play

• Left click to select country to move armies from
• Right click to move armies into target country
• Left click and drag for selection box (only selects own countries by default)
• Shift-left click and drag for freeform selection
• Shift-right click and drag for freeform deselection
• Ctrl-backquote (the ` symbol) to switch between own-territory select and enemy territory select modes
• Ctrl-tab to switch between pass-through enemy territory mode and pass-through own territory modes
• (deprecated) Number keys change quantity of armies moved

IMPORTANT

• Server receive thread runs once every 0.1 seconds which means if you click too quickly then the clicks (move commands) simply won't be registered by the server.

Note: The game quickly digresses into maniacal clicking
