werewolf

Online Werewolf (game) managing app for our Python Project Week Made by Jake Sklarew, Sonia Benothmane, and Kaelo Bang

(click image above to view demo video on youtube)

Required dependencies for running the django server:

-Create a virtual environment, enter the virtual environment, and run the following pip installation commands:

- pip3 install django==2.2
- pip3 install bcrypt
- pip3 install plotly

-To be safe, in the werewolf_project directory where manage.py is located, run the following commands:

- python3 manage.py makemigrations
- python3 manage.py migrate

(those two are only necessary the first time you setup the server to get the database setup)

-Then to run the server at the local address so that anyone can connect at port 8000 to your IP, run:

- python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

The server will now be running and you can access it at http://localhost:8000 (replace localhost with your public IP if accessing from a different computer and make sure your firewall allows it).

If you wish to create fake users to test the functionality of the game without needing a large number of real users connected, you can navigate to http://localhost:8000/home/fakeUserGen/ and it will generate 10 fake users named user1 through user10. Then you can use the “Add Fake Users” button when hosting a game to be able to test in-game functionality without real users present.
