nrpi-battleship

Node-RED-Pi-Battleship

This app builds on the work done in SenseHAT_Battleships.

Updates

SenseHAT_Battleships was a good starting point, but we wanted a few different features. Some changes up to this point are:

• remove finding ammo
• add multiplayer
• improve boat representation placement
• improve the rendering of correct pixel state
• database persistence

Node-RED

This code is not yet in this repo

Node-RED provides the server, which in turn provides the following features:

• where each player's boats are placed
• collecting shot coordinates from each player
• persisting these shot coordinates in dashDB
• sending shot result (hit or miss) to the attacker and defender

Dashboard

This code is not yet in this repo

The dashboard reads the dashDB

Usage

pip install pygame requests
git clone https://github.com/vuldin/nrpi-battleship.git
cd nrpi-battleship
./runmain.sh

The runmain.sh script will attempt to start the python app as root using sudo. This is done since the app needs to initialize the pygame display within a framebuffer.
