Edgin' Around

"Edgin' Around" is a survival game. It draws inspiration from the genre, but also beyond, from games like:

• Don't Starve
• Civilisation
• Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

Installation

The game is in a very early stage of development. By using it you essentially become a part of alpha testing team. In future we plan to make it available on Steam or Android, but for now it requires a manual installation. This guide assumes you have a basic knowledge of Linux command-line and familiarity with tools like git or python.

1. Install dependencies

Install git, python3 and pip3.

On Ubuntu it's:

sudo apt install git python3 pip3

On Arch Linux it's:

sudo pacman -S git python pip

2. Get source code

git clone git@github.com:EdginAround/edgin_around.git
cd edgin_around

3. Install Python modules

Install Python modules with the following command:

pip install -r requirement.txt

4. Get image and sound files

We store image and sound resource files separately from the code. You can download and unpack them with following commands:

wget https://github.com/EdginAround/edgin_around_resources/releases/download/0.0.1/edgin_around_resources.zip
unzip edgin_around_resources.zip

5. Run the game

If everything went right, you can run the game. The game consists of two programs:

• client (frontend) providing the graphical interface of the game
• server (backend) processing messages from many connected clients and running the main logic of the game

Run the server with the following command:

python edgin_around_server.py

and then the client with the following command:

python edgin_around.py
