Snake multiplayer (snake-extended)

Joren Štekeļs, registration no.: js21283

The program is a classic snake game. Both individual games and a game for two through a computer network, which was implemented in a P2P model. Communication is implemented with "websockets" library and game functionality is implemented with using the "pygame" library.

The object of the snake game is to get as big a snake as possible by collecting foods that are placed on the field of play. The game ends if the snake touches the body of any snake.

In order to play with a remote ip and you do not have a personal public IP address you need to set up NAT port forwarding for the port you are going to use for local server. The should be than on the remote side.

Get the source code repository, for example by cloning it from the github repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/jorenchik/snake-extended
$ cd ./snake-extended

Create a virtual Python environment (optional).

$ python -m venv venv

Activate python virtual environment.

Linux/Unix:

$ source ./venv/bin/activate

Windows:

$ source .\venv\Scripts\activate 

Install "poetry" to get the necessary packages.

$ python -m pip install poetry 
$ python -m poetry install 

Alternatively, required packages can be obtained from "requirements.txt".

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the program in single player mode.

$ python snakext/app.py

To run the program in 2-player mode, the following arguments must be specified: sockets, local server port (optional). For example, let's connect to a socket localhost:54323 starting the local server on port 54322.

$ python snakext/app.py localhost:54323 --local-port 54322

The default port is 54321. So:

$ python snakext/app.py 192.168.8.3

This would connect to 192.178.8.3:54321 and start the server on port 54321.

Single player mode

Two player mode. Joining is done at first. If it is successful a handshake is performed and the game begins similar to single player mode.
