running server and client on the same computer

Start the server with default address: cargo run --release --bin westiny_server

Start the client with default address too: cargo run --release --bin westiny_client
Note, that WESTINY_SERVER_ADDRESS has not been set.

configuration

player name

The player's name is got from USER env var, so to change the player's name start client with setting the USER:
USER="Clint Westwood" cargo run --release --bin westiny_client

Running multiple clients on the same computer

To try the game alone you might want to run two or more clients on the same computer.
The server identifies a player by its name and its address.
To be able to connect multiple clients those has to be started with a different player name.
