Snek herding is tough work, but it's honest work. As a young aspiring herder, you've moved out to your new home in sunny insert_quippy_town_name_here, to herd yourself some sneks, feed them some bugs, update your pythons, and grow and nurture them into wonderful, glorious Curly Bois.
The master branch of this repository is automatically deployed to https://snek-farm.herokuapp.com/ .
Copy the environment variables file:
cp .env.example .env
The virtual environment is set up with Python3 and Django in the /snekvenv/ directory. You may need to create this for your own machine's settings and python PATH, if so you can do so with:
python3 -m venv snekenv
To activate the virtual environment, run:
. snekvenv/bin/activate
Typing deactivate will exit you out of the environment.
To migrate your SQLite db, run: python manage.py migrate
In development mode, you'll need the backend django server running...
Backend server: python manage.py runserver
If you only need to "build" the JS once (for example, for deployment), run:
Frontend build: npm run build
If you're actively developing frontend and would like the server to "watch" for changes, you can have webpack run a dev server, to watch for changes and recompile as you go!
Frontend dev server: npm run dev
- Inspiration for this game was taken from the fantastic Kitten Clicker, which made us all giggle at a hackathon and got us moving, and from the original (& arguably the best game comprised of Clicking On Things to Get More Things), Cookie Clicker
