Gamesrv

Gamesrv is a game server using flask, socket.io, chess.js, and chessboard.js

It currently only supports chess, though I plan to add more games in the future

Installing

1. Install the required packages:
   • python 3
   • pip (for python 3)
   • venv (for python 3)
   • on ubuntu, you can install these requirements using sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python3-venv
2. Execute setup.sh
   • This will automatically create a virtual environment, and install the required packages
   • It will not affect your global python environment

Done! Note: by default, the server only listens to connections from localhost, port 5000. You can change this by modifying config.py, or connect it to another web server like nginx.

Running

1. Execute run.sh
   • You don't need to be in the virtual environment for this to work

Done! You can stop it with ./run.sh stop
