gloomhavenhelper 0.1.2

A server and client implementation to talk to GloomhavenHelper Application

Gloomhaven Helper Server Client

This project provides an open source alternative to talk to the application "Gloomhaven Helper".

A simple example would be to run a headless server (no GUI) and connect to it with your clients. The purpose of this would be to have a small inexpensive always-on computer with your gloomhaven game state (like a raspberry pi). With port-forwarding enabled in your router, your friends can connect over the internet and you don't have to forward internet traffic to your personal computer.

Another use-case is to connect as a client and hook it up to a bounch of hardware that changes depending on the game state.

The original purpose for this project was to connect an inexpensive wifi-enabled micro-controller to Gloomhaven Helper app and scan rfid/nfc tags to interact with the game state (like setting initiative or adding/removing characters)

###Installation

Requires python 3.7 or higher

For an x86 (intel/amd cpu) running linux or macos, install with pip (3):

pip install gloomhavenhelper

For arm64/aarch64 systems, install with:

pip install https://github.com/Gronis/gloomhaven-helper-rfid/releases/download/0.1.1/gloomhavenhelper-0.1.1-py3-none-linux_aarch64.whl

for older arm versions, open an issue and I can see if I can provide a build for those systems as well.

Windows is not supported or tested. If you have a windows machine and want to host a server, I recommend just to use the original Gloomhaven Helper java application as a server.

###Usage:

Use as a sever

python -m gloomhavenhelper

###Example of projects:

• Video of scanning a tag/card and changing initiative
