Mafia Server (Unfinished)

NOTE: Project unfinished

Inspiration

Mafia is a fun party game to play, but sometimes complicated to GM in-person. We attempted to make a server to simplify the experience.

The engine uses python, communicating to clients through javascript in a browser.

Python's SocketServer, Rice University's wifi limiting our direct connections through IP addresses.

We really pushed ourselves learning skills we didn't have before. We didn't finish, but we learned a lot about simple servers.

We plan to finish it in our own time in the near future.

I worked on the client side, making the html, css, and javascript to receive the JSON from websockets, display the data, and send back the target data. I ran into a lot of issues being kinda new to web dev, and didn't finish my end, hitting a lot of roadblocks and bugs. I made some progress, however, in designing the page, using cookies to store data, and making a start into the websockets.

I worked on the server side, getting communication between the server and client up as well as tying in the game logic into the communication. As someone who had never heard of Python sockets before starting, I can safely say I learned an amazing load of stuff. Python version used is 2, and SocketServer was the main library.
