# WordGuess
|
|
|
|
Daily pubnix game where you guess the word of the day.
|
|
Compare your word chops with other people on the same
|
|
server!
|
|
|
|
## Server
|
|
|
|
Make sure that the WordGuess folder is accessible
|
|
to other users.
|
|
|
|
This means that if the code lives
|
|
in `/home/wg/WordGuess` then the executable permission must
|
|
be given to `/home/wg`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
chmod o+x /home/wg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The server code will adjust the permissions of all the other files
|
|
to circumvent cheating.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To run the server
|
|
```bash
|
|
python server.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should see an output such as
|
|
```
|
|
Successfully loaded game state
|
|
Seed: 701625
|
|
Started server at /home/wg/WordGuess/game.sock
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Don't share the seed with anyone! Otherwise they can
|
|
figure out the word for all future days.
|
|
|
|
You can reset the seed and all game state by removing the file `state.pickle`.
|
|
|
|
## Players
|
|
|
|
Players can play the game by running the `client.py` python script.
|
|
If the game lives under `/home/wg/WordGuess` then the command will be
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python /home/wg/WordGuess/client.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After playing the game, the server will record the users high score.
|
|
They can see the leaderboard by running
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python /home/wg/WordGuess/leaderboard.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also pass a date with `--date`.
