Gloom

Gloom is a UI tracker for playing Gloomhaven.

• The backend is built with Flask and Python3 and generates all the game entities (tiles, rooms, dungeons, monsters, characters)
• The frontend is built with React that renders constructed rooms based on JSON data fetched from the Flask server. Refer to Resources as a starting point to get a better sense of how it all works under the hood

Backend

Build and Run

• Navigate to backend/src/main and install the requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt

• To start the flask server locally, navigate to the project root and type the following command:

PYTHONPATH=. python backend/src/main/flask/app.py

Your terminal should output the following:

 * Running on http://0.0.0.0:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
 * Restarting with stat
 * Debugger is active!
 * Debugger PIN: 283-466-228

The backend is now serving a JSON payload detailing what the random map should look like to React

Frontend

Build and Run

• Pre-requisites: Install npm
• To install the dependencies for Gloom, navigate to web/app/ and type:

• After the dependencies have successfully been installed, and the Flask server is running in the background, to start the react app type:
