This project is a prototype of a selfie game to be played in events. There's a list of tasks your participants need to take selfies with to encourage getting to know each other. Current version does not track which of posted photos correspond with which task.
The posted pictures can then be shown on a bigger screen at the event so people can see the selfies.
Right now, this is built to be run on a local laptop in development mode. Main reason is to have one less thing worry about when people post photos to it: they don't end up in an online accessible server. They are saved in a local database/filesystem, displayed in a local browser session.
You need to have Python 3.7 or newer, virtualenv and sqlite3 installed to run this program.
To get Telegram connection working, you will need to create a Telegram bot. Once you get your API token from BotFather (Telegram's bot configuration tool), copy file telegram.config.sample to telegram.config and replace YOUR_TOKEN_HERE with the token you got from Telegram.
After that, you need to create backend/tasks.md file with instructions you want your users to see when they start.
Virtualenv
cd backend
virtualenv -p python3.7 env
source env/bin/activateInstall packages
cd backend
pip install -r requirements.txtcd frontend
npm installRestrict frontend to only run in localhost
source ENVcd backend
sqlite3 pics.db < schema.sqlYou will need to run three commands in separate terminal windows:
Python API to serve photos
cd backend
source env/bin/activate
python3.7 api.py
Telegram listener to save photos
cd backend
source env/bin/activate
python3.7 server.py
Frontend dev server
cd frontend
yarn start
After you have all of those running without errors, you can open http://localhost:3000 in your browser. Clicking the title of the page "SELFIE PARTY 🎉", you will get access to an image size slider that can help you adjust the picture sizes to best match your screen.
