##### Based on the course [Elixir for Programmers](https://codestool.coding-gnome.com/courses/elixir-for-programmers) by Dave Thomas.

## Usage

To use `Hangman Text Client` locally, clone and compile it:

  - `git clone https://github.com/RaymondLoranger/hangman_text_client`
  - `cd hangman_text_client`
  - `mix deps.get`
  - `mix compile`

You must also clone and compile the `Hangman Engine` app:

  - `git clone https://github.com/RaymondLoranger/hangman_engine`
  - `cd hangman_engine`
  - `mix deps.get`
  - `mix compile`

## Locally when local node is not alive

Start each client like so:

  - `cd hangman_text_client`
  - `iex -S mix`
  - `Hangman.Text.Client.start()`

## Remotely when local node is alive

App `:hangman_engine` must run in node `:hangman_engine@<hostname>`.

### Short names

Start the engine:

  - `cd hangman_engine`
  - `iex --sname hangman_engine -S mix`
  - `:observer.start() # optional`

Start each client in a different node:

  - `cd hangman_text_client`
  - `set "MIX_ENV=dev" && iex --sname mike -S mix`
  - `Hangman.Text.Client.start()`

### Long names

Start the engine:

  - `cd hangman_engine`
  - `iex --name hangman_engine@rays.supratech.ca -S mix`
  - `:observer.start() # optional`

Start each client in a different node:

  - `cd hangman_text_client`
  - `set "MIX_ENV=prod" && iex --name mike@rays.supratech.ca -S mix`
  - `Hangman.Text.Client.start()`

### Short names using releases

Start the engine:

  - `cd hangman_engine`
  - `iex --sname hangman_engine --cookie fortune -S mix`
  - `:observer.start() # optional`

Start each client in a different node:

  - `cd hangman_text_client`
  - `"_build/dev/rel/hangman_text_client/bin/hangman_text_client" start_iex`
  - `Hangman.Text.Client.start()`

### Long names using releases

Start the engine:

  - `cd hangman_engine`
  - `iex --name hangman_engine@rays.supratech.ca --cookie fortune -S mix`
  - `:observer.start() # optional`

Start each client in a different node:

  - `cd hangman_text_client`
