nichochar / housepoints

A tiny google appengine app that allows to do harry potter like house points counting

HP House Points App

This is a small application that allows admins to add/remove points to 4 harry potter houses (Gryffindor, Slything, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff). It is built using python3 + flask (web framework) + google appengine (runtime) + firestore (database).

Deployment:

This is only possible if you are an owner of the google project (only myself at this point). You'll need to have installed the gcloud command line tool.

$ gcloud app deploy

Local development

If you want to run the server locally, all you need is python3 and pip. Please make sure to not forget export FLASK_ENV=development when running the development server, if not you will talk to the remote database.

1. Create a python virtualenv with the right dependencies (pip install virtualenv if you don't have virtualenv)
2. pip install the requirements
3. run the local server

Commands

$ virtualenv venv                                # create a virtualenv called "venv"
$ source venv/bin/activate                       # activate it
$ pip install -r requirements.txt                # install the requirements in it
$ export FLASK_ENV=development && python main.py # run the server in it
