Welcome to the ungleich-game, a geek game engine!

ungleich-game is supposed to be an easy-to-use, easy-to-play and easy-to-extend game framework for geeks. The project name is ungleich-game, as it has its roots at ungleich - the project name might change later.

How to play

• Select a game server
• Register
• List challenges - have fun!

Overview - Game flow

• Users register at a game server
• Users play by getting challenges from the game server
• Users can see their or all high scores on the main page

Overview - Development Flow

[not yet fully implemented]

The idea is that there are challenges and each challenge offers:

• A description
• Some dependencies (on something another challenge can provide)
• A score ("how difficult it is")

How to add challenges

• Create challenges-.py and add challenges in there
• Do some magic so all challenges are imported by server

Overview - Security

None at the moment.

Tech stack

The base for building games is:

• Python3 - The programmming language
• Flask - web frontend
• etcd - storing data, games, etcd.

Things to solve

• Enhance the Challenge class - maybe make it easier for challenges to abort
• Enhance the Challenge class - abstract away writing information?
• Implement dependencies / providers for challenges
• Add an easy to use CLI (Steven might like click)
• Write nice code to easily retrieve points per user
• Sort high score
• Maybe store all user information in one JSON object?
