codenames-redux

ok, a redux learning project that implements the great boardgame Codenames. Very fun IRL, let's see how far we can go with redux.

So far, there is a barebones, terminal-centric UI for entering commands, and a simple HTTP server for viewing Spymaster and Guesser versions of the current game.

Usage

run npm test to start the game. Type commands like give clue foo 2 to give foo 2 as a clue. Visit localhost:1337 for the guesser view. I recommend putting this on a second computer and letting the guessers stare at it.

The main computer should be used for the spymasters. Put a watch curl localhost:1337/spymaster in one terminal, and leave the game process with the readline interface in another terminal. Have the guessers relay their guesses to the spymasters, who do all the computer input.

Here's how it looks:

Playing in "single-game mode" in the terminal:

The start of the web ui:

Hubot plugin

Highly experimental.

Install this from npm, then add a script to your hubot/scripts like this:

// codenames.js
var plugin = require('codenames-redux/bot');

module.exports = function (robot) {
  plugin(robot);
}
