The game is hosted here. Unfortunately, it won't always be up because of heroku's 18 hour a day up-time limit.

This is a web app implementation of a word game that I play with my friends. It basically revolves around word guessing and giving clever hints to your friends.

The rules are a little hard to explain, so I won't clutter this README with them. But here is a link to the rules.

This is a Flask application that uses Flask-SocketIO to communicate with HTML5's websockets for speedy socket connections. I'm hosting it on heroku, and there were a couple of things that I needed to change from my local development to get it to work as a heroku application. They are as follows:

• Change "http" connections to "https" (in index.html)
• Change the port from 5000 to whatever magic number heroku gives you when you spin up the server. This part transitions automatically.
• Change the host from the default of '127.0.0.1' to '0.0.0.0' so that the server can be publically viewed. (in Server.py)

This game has a hard minimum of 3 players, which made testing it boring because I have no friends, and can go up to as many people as you want. Go crazy!
