VentureRealm

VentureRealm is a hyper-realistic digital simulation developed by CompyCore. Set out on an epic adventure into a text-based land of magic, unknown, and danger!

VentureRealm was created during Jesse Millar's college days for a class project that mandated a server backend and a web component frontend (yes, the Windows 98-style window in the screenshot above is actually a part of a website).

Setup

1. Create an account with Auth0
2. Create an application in your Auth0 dashboard
3. Set the AUTH0_CLIENT_ID, AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET, and AUTH0_DOMAIN environment variables to the values supplied by Auth0
4. Optionally set AUTH0_CALLBACK_URL if you're using a server other than http://localhost:8080
5. Make sure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed

Usage

1. Start the backend (add a -d flag if you don't care about server output):

   docker-compose up
   

2. Navigate to http://localhost:8080

3. Login (or create an account)

4. Play!
