This is a rewrite of the code that runs spacehack.

This repo contains the host and the console code.

Consoles connect to the host to join a game.

(Installation instructions below)

• python3.6 (or later. Older pythons are probably fine too, maybe)
• python3 development sources (required by lit to do timeout tests for some reason)
• mosquitto (or any other standard mqtt broker)
• various python packages (see requirements.txt)

apt install python3 python3-dev mosquitto

We recommend installing these in a venv, there is a script that does this for you:

./init_venv.sh

Then you can source the venv in your shell:

source venv/bin/activate or similar for your shell

If you really want to you could instead install manually with pip install -r requirements.txt

First make sure your mqtt broker is running.

You can then check if everything worked with:

./tests/bin/run_all_spacehack_tests

More details on test scripts in the tests/bin/README.md

And you can run the host in the same way:

./host.py
