# Cards For Humanity

A game master server for the popular game [Cards Against Humanity](https://www.cardsagainsthumanity.com/) using data from [Chris Hallberg](https://crhallberg.com/)'s project [JSON Against Humanity](https://github.com/crhallberg/json-against-humanity) (everyone say "Thanks, Chris!")

This started as a problem trying to play games with friends who are all on different platforms. This shall be as cross-platform as it gets. I want it to work on anything that can establish a connection and allow anyone to write any front-end they can dream up whether it be a web page, chat bot, VR, etc. Any clients who share a master server can play together across any platform.


## Test/Dev:

### Server
With auto-reload:
* [Install cargo-watch](https://github.com/watchexec/cargo-watch?tab=readme-ov-file#install)

Then:

```sh
watch -i client -cx run
```

or if you're lazy like me just run `./test`


Without auto-reload:
```sh
cargo run
```

### Client
* [Install Trunk](https://trunkrs.dev/#install)

Then:

```sh
trunk serve --open
```

## Build:

### Client
```sh
trunk build --release
```

### Server
```sh
cargo build
```

----------
* The server automatically serves the built client from `/dist` at `0.0.0.0:3030`

* Configure any custom clients to connect to `ws://0.0.0.0:3030/websocket`


## TODO:
* finish game logic
* prevent multiple users claiming the same identity and then all losing it - may create a zombie
* prevent zombie users after browser crash
* figure out proper auth - client's problem?
* use db
* test bincode and probably move away from json
* make typescript sdk
* support card text editing
* prevent import of cards that have been seen already and edited
* handle duplicates
* efficiency
* make demo clients for multiple platforms and screens
