codenames

Codenames implements a web app for generating and displaying boards for the Codenames board game. Generated boards are shareable and will update as words are revealed. The board can be viewed either as a spymaster or an ordinary player.

A hosted version of the app is available at www.horsepaste.com.

Building

The app requires a Go toolchain, node.js and parcel to build. Once you have those setup, build the application Go binary with:

go install github.com/jbowens/codenames/cmd/codenames

Then from the frontend directory, install the node modules:

npm install

and start the app (listens to changes)

npm start

or build the app

npm run build

Docker

Alternatively, the repository includes a Dockerfile for building a docker image of this app.

docker build . -t codenames:latest

The following command will launch the docker image:

docker run --name codenames_server --rm -p 9091:9091 -d codenames

The following command will kill the docker instance:

docker stop codenames_server
