Wizards of the Future: Code Your Own Adventure
Come uncover the secrets of the magical craft of programming. You will explore a text adventure game written in the Ruby programming language. While you play through the story, you will empower your actions with simple program commands. As you begin, you will soon find that the story leads to a dead-end; at which point, you will have to leap into the source code and code your way to your own ending. Or a new beginning! No prior programming experience is necessary.
Install Node.js
Install the dependencies with
npm install
To run the Websockets server that executes the game with the project's IRB config:
IRBRC=irb.rc node server.js
Changes to server.js require a restart. Simply Ctrl+C the
IRBRC=irb.rc node server.js process and run it again.
To enable S3 uploads of game files (game code will never save unless you do),
you have to set your AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and your AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY:
export AWS_ACESS_KEY_ID=xxx
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=yyy
You can set these values in ~/.bash_login for them to persist. You get them
from AWS.
