Cards For Humanity

A game master server for the popular game Cards Against Humanity using data from Chris Hallberg's project 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

Then

watch -i client -cx run

Without auto-reload:

cargo run

Client

• Install Trunk

Then

trunk serve --open

Build:

Client

trunk build --release

Server

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://localhost:3030/websocket

TODO:
