Text client for the Islands game.
##### Inspired by the book [Functional Web Development](https://pragprog.com/book/lhelph/functional-web-development-with-elixir-otp-and-phoenix) by Lance Halvorsen.</br>Also inspired by the course [Elixir for Programmers](https://codestool.coding-gnome.com/courses/elixir-for-programmers) by Dave Thomas.
## Using
To play the Islands game, clone `islands_engine` from GitHub and compile it:
- git clone https://github.com/RaymondLoranger/islands_engine
- cd islands_engine
- mix deps.get
- mix compile
Then, clone `islands_text_client` from GitHub and compile it:
- git clone https://github.com/RaymondLoranger/islands_text_client
- cd islands_text_client
- mix deps.get
- mix compile
From folder `islands_engine`, run the engine in node `:islands@<hostname>`:
- cd islands_engine
- iex --sname islands -S mix
- :observer.start() -- optional
The first player starts the game from a different node:
- cd islands_text_client
- iex --sname <game1_player1> -S mix
- Islands.Text.start("John")
The second player joins the game from yet a different node:
- cd islands_text_client
- iex --sname <game1_player2> -S mix
- Islands.Text.join("John", "Yoko")
