Running the Server

Installing Dependencies

The server is self-contained with an SQLite database, so just install the requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running

We’re using Django Channels, so running the server is as easy as:

python server/manage.py runserver

The API

To interact with the server session, we use a simple REST API to send new data into the server. The full API docs can be found by running a server and navigating to /docs/.

Starting a New Session

To start a new session, send a POST request with a name variable form-encoded to https://<host>/sessions/:

curl https://example.com/sessions/ -X POST -d player_name="Scott"

and you’ll get a simple JSON object back with a session URL that you post your turns against.

Taking a Turn

To take a turn, make a POST request against the day endpoint of a session.
