# Xquisite Branch
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A branching version of the [exquisite corpse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exquisite_corpse) game. A drawing app developed for [SI17](https://issue.xpub.nl/17/).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Draw something, upload it and send the link to someone else: they will continue from your drawing. But wait! There's a catch!!!!! If you send to just one person the chain will continue linearly, but send it to more people and things will start branching in different directions.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Install
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Clone the repository.
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
git clone https://git.xpub.nl/kamo/exquisite-branch.git
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Create a virtual environment.
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
python3 -m venv venv
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Install the requirements with `pip` and the `requirements.txt` file.
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Create an `.env` file in the root folder of the project with the following variables:
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
DEBUG=True
|
|
||||||
FLASK_ENV=development
|
|
||||||
FLASK_APP=exquisite_branch
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Before running the app for the first time, be sure to initialize the database. __Watch out:__ this will delete the previous instance of the database along with its contents!
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
flask init-db
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
After initializing the database you can run the flask application
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
flask run
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Overview
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
_Xquisite Branch_ saves contents in a database, and join them together in a branching version of the exquisite corpse.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The original exquisite corpse data structure is something similar to a linked list, where every drawing is connected to the previous one. Contents in _Xquisite Branch_ are saved in a database with the same principle.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Each entry in the database has the following properties:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `id`: a unique identifier for every entry
|
|
||||||
- `branch`: a random name for the excerpt
|
|
||||||
- `parent`: the random name of the previous excerpt
|
|
||||||
- `content`: the actual content of the writings
|
|
||||||
- `username`: the author of the excerpt
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When generating the display page, every entry look up its `parent` property to position itself after that.

Mhh should rewrite this better bc is super convoluted ahah.
