BattleSnake 2017 Game Server

Battle Snake Server

Quicker Start

• Install Docker
• docker run -d -p 4000:4000 noelbk/battle_snake_server
• Connect to http://localhost:4000

Quick Start

• Install OTP 19 (skip if you have OTP)
  • get kerl
  • kerl build 19.2 19.2
  • kerl install 19.2 /opt/erlang/installs/19.2
  • . /opt/erlang/installs/19.2/activate
• Install Elixir v1.4 (skip if you have Elixir)
  • get kiex
  • kiex install 1.4
  • kiex use 1.4
• git clone [email protected]:Dkendal/battle_snake.git
• cd battle_snake
• mix do deps.get, compile, battle_snake.createdb
• npm install
• Start the Phoenix endpoint with PORT=4000 iex --sname battle_snake_dev -S mix phoenix.server

I would reccomend naming the node that you run your dev server, as running mix test will clobber the default Mnesia database.

Perquisites

• Erlang OTP 19
• Elixir 1.4

I suggest managing your OTP version with kerl and your elixir version with kiex

Testing

mix test

Building the docker image locally

• docker build --rm -t battle_snake_server .
• docker run -d -p 4000:4000 battle_snake_server
