Host it yourself!

The game is not very resource intensive and saves your session for you, so you can run it on your own device.

Simply clone the repo.

make sure you have python3 > 3.8 installed then run python3 -m .venv venv to create a virtual environment.

Activate the venv, on Linux/MacOS with source .venv/bin/activate and on Windows with .\.venv\Scripts\activate.

After that, install all dependencies running pip install -r requirements.txt.

then simply run python3 start.py and visit the game on localhost:5000!
