General Architecture

The project is separated into 2 components:

A website in Python with the Django framework. This component handles user registrations, creating games as well as joining them. It exposes a REST API used by the game server. Finally, it also contains the logic for the chat used in the games. The code is located in agot-bg-website/.
A game server in Typescript with React, mobx and bootstrap. It runs the games of AGoT. It is itself composed of a front-end and a back-end. The code is located in agot-bg-game-server/.

Additional documentation about how those components work can be found in the folder of each component.

How to Run

There a multiple ways to run the code, depending on what components on what you want to run.

Launching the Game Only

Requires NodeJS v14 and yarn. Install the dependencies and initialize the environment variables by executing:

cd agot-bg-game-server/
yarn install
yarn run generate-json-schemas
cp .env.dev.local .env

In 2 different terminals, execute:

yarn run run-client
yarn run run-server

Open http://localhost:8080/static/#1 in your browser. Additional players can be simulated by opening new browser tabs and changing the number at the end of the url.

Closing and re-reunning run-server will create a new game.

Note: The chat, which is managed by the website, will not be available.

Launching the Website Only

Requires docker and python3.

To spin up the PostgreSQL database and a Redis database, open a terminal and execute docker-compose up.

Install the dependencies of the component, initialize the database and create a super user by running:

cd agot-bg-website/
cp .env.dev .env
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 manage.py migrate

# This command will ask for a password. Use "rootroot"
python3 manage.py createsuperuser --username Longwelwind

Once done, you can run the server by executing:

python3 manage.py runserver

The website will be accessible at http://localhost:8000/ (as well as http://localhost:8000/admin). Some functionalities such as mail notifications and social authentications will require environment variables defined in .env.

Note: If you try to open a game via the website, you will land on a template page.

Launching the Game and the Website

To launch the 2 components and make them inter-connected, make sure the dependencies are installed and the database is up and running (follow the instructions given in the precedent sections).

Replace the environment configuration of the game-server with a live one: cp .env.live .env.

Replace the webpack configuration of the game-server with a live one: cp webpack.client.js.live webpack.client.js.

The front-end of the game server must be built and placed in the website. This can be done by executing ./build_and_place_game_client_into_django.sh.

You can now run the game server and the website by launching, in 2 two different terminals:

In agot-bg-game-server/, execute yarn run run-server.
In agot-bg-website/, execute python3 manage.py runserver.
