installation

Installation can be done with pip:

pip install pre-commit

And init:

pre-commit install

Usage

The server can be run by executing the main.py python script:

python3 src/main.py

Once the game has started, it will require input from the standard input. These inputs will generally be requests from the clients.

The server accepts the following requests:

Path

Path can be used to tell the game server to move a specific player to a given position specified by an (x,y) coordinate.

Shoot

Shoot can be used to tell the game server to fire a bullet in a given direction specified by an angle in radians.

Example Usage

Initialise the game by specifying the players:

{"clients": [{"id": "player1","name": "James","image": "image1"},{"id": "player2","name": "John","image": "image2"}]}

Give each player a target destination to follow:

{"player1": {"path": [250,200]}, "player2": {"path": [350,200]}}

Give each player an angle in degrees to shoot towards:

{"player1": {"shoot": 31}, "player2": {"shoot": 0.777}}

Stop the player movement:

{"player1": {"path": []}, "player2": {"path": []}}

Do nothing:

{"player1": {}, "player2": {}}
