_worldgenerator

An exploration game written in ruby, rails and node. Made to run on a raspberry.

Installation

User a version bundler to load proper Ruby and Node versions. Until we will support devcontainers, that's all you need to do to run the project locally.

Suggestion: if you still don't have any tool version manager, you can install asdf

asdf plugin add ruby https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-ruby.git
asdf plugin add nodejs https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-nodejs.git

Restart your shell

asdf install ruby
asdf install nodejs

Restart your shell again. Make sure you're using ruby 3.2.1 and nodejs 18.4.0. Use ruby -v and node -v to double check.

Install dependencies

Gemfile

gem install -g

NPM packages

npm install

Ruby Gems

bundle install

rake db:setup
rake db:migrate

Open a Rails console

rails console

require 'active_record/fixtures'
ActiveRecord::FixtureSet.create_fixtures(Rails.root.join('test', 'fixtures'), 'zones')
ActiveRecord::FixtureSet.create_fixtures(Rails.root.join('test', 'fixtures'), 'climates')

Run the dev environment

rails server

Then, you could head to the two main urls:

• List of zones You can click on links to move on the map and see the distribution changes
• List of climates to add more outside the main bounds. If you add a very different one outside bounds, moving on the map will slowly fade the zone tiles from one to the other.
