Looking Forward - Future Improvements

AI Sabacc Opponent

A large feature we might implement is an AI opponent.

Gameplay Features

The door is wide open for new gameplay features. Ideas include:

• Tournaments
• Competitive Play
• Leaderboards
• Persistent Credits between games
• Different planets to play on
• Better playing UX and GUI (Click add credits, manual dice rolling, images of cards, etc.)
• Other Sabacc Variants (Coruscant Shift, Kessel Sabacc)
• Prized Items for the Sabacc Pot

Running the Project Locally

Start by cloning the repo (or download the code in a .zip): git clone https://github.com/Sabacc-Organization/Sabacc-Org.git

Setup the server side by installing all of the dependencies in server/requirements.txt. The Python version probably isn't crucial but it's the only one that I know works. Don't forget to install PostgreSQL!

1. cd server
2. Install Python(==3.12.4) (https://www.python.org/downloads/) (or via terminal)
   • Install Pip if it did not install with Python
3. Install pip dependencies pip install -r pipRequirements.txt
4. Install PostgreSQL (https://www.codecademy.com/article/installing-and-using-postgresql-locally) and make a database. Postbird is highly recommended, learn how to install it for your OS here: https://github.com/Paxa/postbird
5. Update the DATABASE part of config.yml according to your database. If you're not sure how to do that, check CS50's Python library docs: https://cs50.readthedocs.io/libraries/cs50/python/?highlight=postgres#cs50.SQL
6. Run the backend by starting the Postgres server and using flask run

Setup the client side by installing Node.js, npm, and vite.

1. cd client
2. Install Node.js and npm (https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm) (or via terminal)
3. Making sure npm dependencies are installed: npm install
4. You can might need to install vite separately like this: npm install --save-dev vite
5. Run the frontend by using npm run dev

Now that you have everything installed and ready to go, open up a new terminal window in the project and cd server. Run the following command to start the backend flask run. Open up another new terminal window, cd client, and run the following command to start the frontend npm run dev. If everything is installed correctly you should be able to visit either http://127.0.0.1:5000 (backend) or http://localhost:5173 (frontend).
