board_game_concept

Board game idea based on building and programming your own units

• Create your own units based on simple rules
• Program each unit to pay the game
• Run the game automatically resolving the winner
• Win condition = last player with a functional unit

server idea

• The server runs permanently, and automatically commits whenever all the players commit
• The players should are paused after their commit and wait for the server to commit
• Currently the server is run and waits for files to be created an written to in a directory on disk by the player client.

web service - [TODO]

• combine server, client and observer into different roles in the API based on login
• create "flask" based web service that exposes all the cli based commands as a RESTful API
• backend would still be files for now, although moving to sqlite may be a thought via a common data class
