Web based game mostly in Python (using the Flask framework), with some HTML, CSS, JS and Vue.js and bash scripts thrown in https://github.com/elthran/UndyingKingdoms

https://github.com/elthran/UndyingKingdoms now comes with install instructions that only work on Linux. :P

That's good enough for me! Thanks Marlen, I will check it out soon.

First impressions: experiencing problem with mysql root password. Will give it a try again soon, and debug it.

[klondikemarlen]

Yeah ... that part is more than a little rough. It is supposed to:

1. take your current mysql password,
2. use it to log in and then create a new account with full permissions of the "undyingkingdoms" database.
3. Then create a new password which is to be saved in a .cnf file for later use by the game.

bin/install.sh - lines 45-65. I'll try to rewrite it and see if I can remove one of the password requests.

EDIT: I tweaked the install script I found a bugged sed command and generally improved on how I gained root access to mysql. Let me know if it works now.

Tried it on a minimal ubuntu xenial vagrant box. Noticed improvement. However, when I ran 'python manage reset_db", turned out that a few flask modules were missing. Once those were installed, I am getting a python syntax error (see below). I am guessing this is due to the version of Python on Xenial: which is 3.5. Soon, I will also try it on Ubuntu bionic.

(udk_env) vagrant@minimal-xenial:~/udk$ python manage.py serve   
Traceback (most recent call last):

it might be useful to specify specific version of python during venv creation step:

...
python3 -m venv ~/virtual_envs/udk_env
...

pipenv package enables specifying of Python version in a virtual env like

pipenv --python 3.6

See https://docs.pipenv.org/en/latest/basics/

I am getting a different kind of error on Ubuntu bionic. Let's move this discussion to Issues tab of UndyingKingdoms.

[klondikemarlen]

Ok, thanks looking into it :). I'll update the instructions.
