Dani's Race Multiplayer

The server / client stack for Dani's Race.

Installation / Testing

To install this you need clone the repository:

git clone https://forg.madiator.cloud/BlenderDumbass/DanisRace_Multiplayer

It will download the folder DanisRace_Multiplayer to your computer. So now you can navigate to said folder:

cd DanisRace_Multiplayer

And launch the server software:

python3 server.py

You may want to setup port forwarding to have your server visible from the global network.

To test that everything works, you can use client.py script.

Part of the client.py file:

hostname = "95.216.112.32"
port     = 7860

As you can see it wants to connect to 95.216.112.32 port 7860 by default. At one point that was a server we used for development on Dani's Race Multiplayer. You may want to change the code to your server's IP and Port to make it connect.
