This is a clone of the card game The Mind. You can play it online at https://jonseijo.com/themind

You need at least 2 players in the same lobby to play.

Note that there are some features missing, like the throwing star cards

The server is implemented in python3, using pyre for type checking. The API is written with Flask and Socket.io (see https://flask-socketio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

The frontend is written with React

I assume python3.7 for the guide, it probably works in previous versions but I didn't test it. Replace 3.7 in the commands for the version you use.

Install python3.7 headers: sudo apt-get install python3.7-dev

Install venv for python3.7: sudo apt-get install python3.7-venv

Step into the-mind-online: cd the-mind-online

Create a virtual enviroment to install required python libraries: python3.7 -m venv the-mind-venv

Activate the virtual enviroment: source the-mind-venv/bin/activate

You should see "(the-mind-venv)" in the command prompt

Go to 'the-mind' directory and install the requirements. Important, the virtual enviroment MUST be activated!

pip install -r requirements.txt

You should activate the virtual enviroment every time you want to run the server:

source the-mind-venv/bin/activate

Run tests: ./test.sh

Run tests with type checking (pyre is needed): ./test.sh all

Start the server: ./serve.sh

The server runs by default on localhost:5000

I used yarn but it can probably be replaced with just npm.

Install yarn

(you also need nodejs if is not installed automatically)

In the-mind-react directory, install the dependencies specified in package.json: yarn install

In the-mind-react:

yarn start

You can access the client from localhost:3000
