steemmonsters is a python command line tool for playing steemmonsters. Decks, player name and other settings are defined in a json file. Before playing, the posting key has to be stored inside the beem wallet. The password which is used to encrypt the posting key, can be stored in the config file or entered each time on start.
New features
Load different settings files on startup
It is possible to load different config json files on startup:
steemmonsters -c config2.json
or
python steemmonsters.py -c config2.json
The wallet password must not anymore stored in the config file
Instead of storing the wallet password, it can now be entered each time when the tool is started. Just removed the wallet_password line from the config file.
Play mode can be aborted with ctrl+c when waiting
When play_delay is set in the config file, playing a new match can be aborted by pressing ctrl+c after a match when the line
waiting 5 seconds
is shown. When pressing ctrl+c at this time point, the program itself is not terminated.
Unit tests and CI integration added
A simple unit test for testing generate_key and generate_team_hash has been added. Integration into travis-ci and appveyor.com has been done.
steemmonsters can be used without the need to install python on windows
After downloading the standalone version of beempy (https://github.com/holgern/beem/releases) and the standalone version of steemmonsters in hte release-site, they can be extracted and used to play steemmonsters.
Two versions can be downloaded, a packed one-file exe or a directory containing. The packed one-file is easier to handle, but slower on startup:
- steemmonsters-0.0.13-29-21b9a931-py36_win64.zip
- steemmonsters-onefile-0.0.13-29-21b9a931-py36_win64.zip
Both zip files are created inside the appveyor CI:
After unpacking the beem and the steemmonsters zip file into two different directories, they can be used. Open e.g. the Windows PowerShell and go into the directory containing beem.
When not already a wallet was created:
.\beempy.exe createwallet
Adding the posting key of the playing steem account:
.\beempy.exe addkey
On Windows PowerShell, the key can be pasted, using a right click.
Create a config.json as shown in https://github.com/holgern/steemmonsters.
Go to the directory containing steemmonsters.exe
.\steemmonsters.exe
or
.\steemmonsters.exe -c ..\path\to\config.json
Short help texts were added for all commands
When entering ? or help all available commands can be seen:
Stop play when reaching a loosing streak
In the config file, stop_on_loosing_streak can be defined. When set, playing stops when loosing the defined number in a row.
