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
.
chmod o+x /home/wg
The server code will adjust the permissions of all the other files to circumvent cheating.
To run the server
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
.
A systemd service file is provided under wordguess.service
in order to provide another way to run the server.
Copy wordguess.service
to ~/.config/systemd/user
and then enable and start the service with:
systemctl --user enable --now wordguess
To start on boot-up, your user needs to have Linger
enabled. If you have root access, you can run:
sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER
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
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
python /home/wg/WordGuess/leaderboard.py
You can also pass a date with --date
.
