CodeCombat is a multiplayer programming game for learning how to code. It’s a platform for students to learn computer science while playing through a real game.
It’s both a startup and a community project, completely open source under the MIT and Creative Commons licenses. Furthermore, it’s the largest open source CoffeeScript project by lines of code, and since it’s a game, it’s really fun to hack on.
To install CodeCombat, we need to first setup our database. The database used will be MongoDB
Install MongoDB
- Import public key, create source list file and install database
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv EA312927 echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu "$(lsb_release -sc)"/mongodb-org/3.2 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.2.list sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
- Create the service file for mongodb
cd /lib/systemd/system/ vim mongod.service
- Paste below into the file
[Unit] Description=High-performance, schema-free document-oriented database After=network.target Documentation=https://docs.mongodb.org/manual [Service] User=mongodb Group=mongodb ExecStart=/usr/bin/mongod --quiet --config /etc/mongod.conf [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
- Reload systemd service with following command
systemctl daemon-reload
- Start mongodb service and add as a service on startup
systemctl start mongod systemctl enable mongod
Install and run CodeCombat Multiplayer Game on Ubuntu 16.04
- Install some needed packages
sudo apt-get install build-essential python2.7 git curl npm nodejs-legacy
- If your default Python version is 3, then run this also
npm config set python `which python2.7`
- Next let’s setup Git
git config --global user.name "YOUR_NAME" git config --global user.email "YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS"
- Next we start cloning the game from the repository
git clone https://github.com/codecombat/codecombat.git cd codecombat git remote add -f upstream https://github.com/codecombat/codecombat.git
- Install Dependencies
npm install
- Let’s import the latest development database and overwrite the current development database
(cd $(mktemp -d /tmp/coco.XXXXXXXX) && curl http://analytics.codecombat.com:8080/dump.tar.gz | tar xzf - && mongorestore --drop --host 127.0.0.1)
- Run following command to startup brunch and nodemon
npm run dev
- Open your browser and enter following URL
http://127.0.0.1:3000
Now we have our game environment running on Ubuntu 16.04
