Game of Things Helper

This application makes playing Game of Things easier.

Users can submit their answers with their phones

Remaining answers and users are displayed on a screen so all can easily see. ( you no longer have to repeat all of the answers for each guesser. They can just read it themselves )

Details:

Back-end: Python Flask, Flask-Socket-io

Front-end: jQuery, Bootstrap, Socket.io

The game and player data is stored in memory, no db yet so if the server restarts during play, that round is lost.

Installation

1. If you don't already have it, install pip: sudo easy_install pip

2. Next, use pip to install the requirements: sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

(If you're on OS X El Capitan or above, you may need to use this command instead, as pip will get hung up trying to uninstall a built-in version of six 1.4.1: sudo pip install -r requirements.txt --ignore-installed six)

How to use:

• Run the server on a computer connected to a TV that everyone playing can see.

python app.py

• Launch browser on this display URL = http://:5000/board

• Each user connects to this url on their phone: http://:5000

  They create a user name and submit their answer each round.

• The "reader" connects to: http://:5000/reader ( this should be passed around and dynamically loaded on next reader's device )

• The "reader" will see a list of names on their device when that user submits their answer.

• When all answers are submitted, "reader" will tap the "SHOW ANSWERS" button to populate the board display.

• "Reader" will tap the users name when their answer is guessed. This will update the board.

• Fun will ensue.
