Inspiration
We wanted to create a simpler version of the tabletop game Dungeons and Dragons in the form of a Facebook messenger group. But Facebook had already restricted API calls to produce messages in order to stop chat bots. We decided to keep the simplicity and just turn it into a multiplayer game that runs into your terminal.
What it does
Either a server hosted by us or a server that the client wishes to host is created through a python script. The client then runs a python script that adds him or her to the server. The Game Master then prompts the players to initiate in a fun and slightly chaotic interactive RPG where the players control one character together.
How I built it
Through the power of RNG and sleep deprivation. We created a game in which the players have to succeed through the power of friendship.
Challenges I ran into
We spent countless hours trying to make a Facebook application, but because of the restrictions mentioned previously, we had to constantly change our methods of approach
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I succeeded in completing this task within the given time limits.
What I learned
How to work with strangers in a team while working with sleep deprivation and a time limit.
What's next for ./bash_dragons
We may increase the number of possible stories that the people can play through for more fun for all players.
