This project uses UV for Python package management, but you can also use plain pip.

uv sync

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # Windows: .\.venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -e .

You can edit config.yaml to configure server

uv run server

python main.py

Use Flask server only for development. Using UV:

uv run web-server

If not using UV:

python src/web/web_server.py

Setup a web server (e.g., Nginx) to serve static files from the directory src/web/www. Below is a minimal Nginx configuration example:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name localhost; 

    root /path/to/this/project/src/web/www;
    index game.html;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =405;
    }
}

Controls:

• WASD - move snake
• space - move faster
• T - open chat
• ESC - close chat
• TAB - open players list

Chat commands:

• .q - disconnect from server
• /killme - kill self
• /kickme - kick self
