February 14th, 1984.
Somewhere in the English Midlands, a humble local side will for the second time battle mighty Liverpool in the football cup tie of a lifetime.
And across town on this cold foggy night, Edward Lionheart debuts his youth production of Arms and the Man.
Amid technical hitches, one withering critic and a diabolical director, can a young boy called Spud save this theatre from disaster?
Status
This project is in early alpha. It lacks some content and it’s slightly buggy. It was submitted as a demo to Spring Thing 2021.
Installation
Windows
Theatre of Spud is a command line program. You use it from the Windows command interpreter.
To launch a new command window:
Tap the Windows key so that the Start Menu pops up.
Type the word cmd.
When you see the Command Prompt app highlighted, tap the Enter key.
You should see a prompt like this (your user name will differ):
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.1139] (c) 2019 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\Users\author>
Prerequisites
Download and install Python from https://www.python.org/ . You need Python version 3.9 or higher. Make sure to check the option to add python to your environment path. This makes command line operation more easy.
After you’ve installed Python, open a command window and type python. You should see something like this:
C:\Users\author>python Python 3.9.0 (tags/v3.9.0:9cf6752, Oct 5 2020, 15:34:40) [MSC v.1927 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>>
Type quit() and press Return.
Virtual Environment
First make a fresh Python virtual environment:
python -m venv C:\Users\author\catchphrase-app
Update the package manager within it:
C:\Users\author\catchphrase-app\Scripts\pip install -U pip wheel
Download
Download the repository as a zip file. Unzip it to a local directory.
cd to theatre_of_spud.
Install
Install Theatre of Spud and dependencies:
C:\Users\author\catchphrase-app\Scripts\pip install .
Run
You can run the demo in two modes.
Text-only in the terminal:
C:\Users\author\catchphrase-app\Scripts\python -m tos.main
Launch a local web server to play the web app (http://localhost:8080):
C:\Users\author\catchphrase-app\Scripts\python -m tos.app
Linux
The Linux command line is generally more easy to work with than the Windows command prompt. If you’re finding the Windows command prompt tricky, you can install Git Bash which behaves in a Linux-like way.
I encourage you to move to a Linux operating system when you are able. You can try one out at little cost on a Raspberry Pi or similar device.
Here are the install instructions for Linux. You need Python version 3.9 or higher.
Virtual Environment
First make a fresh Python virtual environment:
python3 -m venv ~/catchphrase-app
Update the package manager within it:
~/catchphrase-app/bin/pip install -U pip wheel
