Dixit 0.1.2

Fan-created server for the board game Dixit

Installation

pip install dixit

Starting the Server

dixit

Then go to http://localhost:8888/.

Configuring the Server

Configuration options, such as the port (default 8888), and the location of each card deck (e.g., see dixit/static/cards/dixit/README.txt), are housed in JSON configuration files that are read when you launch the server. Default settings are located in dixit/config.json.

To override the defaults, you may create a JSON file in your working directory that contains a subset of these configuration options. For example, to change the port to 9000, create a new file named config.local.json that contains:

{
    "port": 9000
}

Then pass in this file name when you launch the server, as in: dixit config.local.json. This will override the default configuration with the values in config.local.json.

Alternatively, directly edit dixit/config.json, to for instance, specify which port to use, or to point to the location of each card deck that you have.
