THIS PROJECT IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED. I WON'T BE ABLE TO FIX ANY ISSUES YOU MIGHT HAVE
A simple self contained web server for ImpactJS that allows you to run both the game and weltmeister (level editor) without the need for Apache.
Just drop server.py in your impact folder along with your index.html file.
Then in terminal simply run:
./server.py
Visit http://localhost:8080 for the game or http://localhost:8080/editor for the weltmeister level editor.
If you'd like to use this on Heroku, simply include Procfile and requirements.txt in your git project.
I have a strange aversion to anything PHP and trying to develop with multiple ImpactJS games becomes a serious pain in the ass with Apache.
With this server all you need to do is change the settings port and you could even run many servers simultaneously.
Oh and technically I didn't build it, I tortured a super newb friend of mine Armon to hack this together for me.
This should be used as a development tool only
Don't use this to serve your live game, it's likely to have many issues and is no way designed to scale or even provide proper asset caching.
At the top of server.py is a SETTINGS dictionary that provides a couple tweakable settings.
Used to specify the server port. This shouldn't need changing unless you are running multiple instances of server.py at the same time.
Defaults to False, if set to True, you will see http request logs in terminal.
This allows you to configure the API endpoints hit by weltmeister. Only change these if you changed them in the weltmeister config.js file.
If you have no idea what I am talking about don't touch them.
Don't touch this unless you know what you are doing. It determines what images can be displayed and used in Weltmeister.
This is a dictionary used to add your own custom mime-types. You only need to use this if you are noticing certain file types not being served properly.
