The Mind Online

This is a clone of the card game The Mind. You can play it online at https://jonseijo.com/themind

You need at least 2 players in the same lobby to play.

Note that there are some features missing, like the throwing star cards

---

The server is implemented in python3, using pyre for type checking. The API is written with Flask and Socket.io (see https://flask-socketio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

The frontend is written with React

Server

INSTALL:

I assume python3.7 for the guide, it probably works in previous versions but I didn't test it. Replace 3.7 in the commands for the version you use.

Install python3.7 headers: sudo apt-get install python3.7-dev

Install venv for python3.7: sudo apt-get install python3.7-venv

Step into the-mind-online: cd the-mind-online

Create a virtual enviroment to install required python libraries: python3.7 -m venv the-mind-venv

Activate the virtual enviroment: source the-mind-venv/bin/activate

You should see "(the-mind-venv)" in the command prompt

Go to 'the-mind' directory and install the requirements. Important, the virtual enviroment MUST be activated!

pip install -r requirements.txt

RUN

You should activate the virtual enviroment every time you want to run the server:

source the-mind-venv/bin/activate

Run tests: ./test.sh

Run tests with type checking (pyre is needed): ./test.sh all

Start the server: ./serve.sh

The server runs by default on localhost:5000

Client

INSTALL

I used yarn but it can probably be replaced with just npm.

Install yarn

(you also need nodejs if is not installed automatically)

In the-mind-react directory, install the dependencies specified in package.json: yarn install

RUN

In the-mind-react:

yarn start

You can access the client from localhost:3000
