matthew game

a simple game where you retrieve pieces of matthew

setup

before setting this up, you must have a functioning matrix server to handle federation keys. this only handles a profile.

1. clone this repository and enter it

2. make a python virtual environment and install the dependencies

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install waitress flask

3. configure it if you want, i left a default config in config.json. bio.html can be used to customise the user bio.

4. run the server with waitress-serve --listen=127.0.0.1:8080 app:app. if you're on systemd, see matthew-game.service for an example unit.

5. reverse proxy /_matrix/federation/v1/query/profile to the game:

location /_matrix/federation/v1/query/profile {
	proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
}

it may be possible to limit the user like so:

location /_matrix/federation/v1/query/profile?user_id=@target:example.com {
	proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
}

but i haven't tried this.

todo:

• a script to upload and manage the tiles
• go rewrite
