Battleships

Installation

The installation guide is designed for Ubuntu and has been tested on a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04.

The installation process involves checking out the source code from GitHub, which means you'll need an SSH key approved to access this repository in /root/.ssh.

Then run this (which takes several minutes):

curl "http://ec2-54-251-28-177.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com/static/bash/install.sh" | sudo bash

Try it out:

http://battleships.local:8000?verify_token=25848a988e544e88986b46324887f675

(The verify token is only required the first time you visit the application)

Restart the application:

sudo restart battleships

Monitor the log:

sudo tail -f /var/log/upstart/battleships.log

Running a bot locally

python battleships/util/player.py battleships path/to/your/bot
