If you're reading this after Jun 7th its because I forgot to update the readme and the game should (probably) work

A command line battleship client written in python and a backend written in python Sanic

Server must run on python 3.8.10 because Sanic dependencies are very strange

Client can run on >= python 3.8.x

python main.py

After running the game, follow in game instructions and invite a friend

If you don't want to run your own server, I have one running on http://battleship.ayo.icu

I do not recommend using this because the server it's hosted on is incredibly slow and if you're not on the West Coast of North America the latency will be unbearable.

If you want to run your own server, create a config.json and set the "url" paramter to the url and port you're running the server on.

{
  "url":"http://example.com:port/"
}

pip install sanic

Run the server on linux/ubuntu because I literally have not tested it on anything else

curl -fsSL https://packages.redis.io/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.redis.io/deb $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/redis.list

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install redis

Everything else is either using a builtin or will throw an error because I forgor to tell you to install it

The server is made with sanic, so there is probably an exploit in the code that hasn't been found yet. Host at your own risk, I'm just a student learning to code.
