pirates

Project that aims to simulate a distributed computing system for the COS786 module at the University of Pretoria.

Requirements

This project depends on the rpyc library. Run pip3 install -r requirements.txt in order to install the library. It has been developed to work on an Ubuntu distribution where the primary Python version is 3.6

Executing the system

In order the correctly execute the system, the user should execute each of the following commands in a separate shell, in the specified order.

  1. python3 registry_server.py - Starts up the Registry Server that tracks the different agents. This server should be started on a computer where the server is allowed to broadcast on the network (if everything is ran on the same computer, it should work by default).
  2. python3 quarter_master.py - Starts the QuarterMaster service which is used to communicate with rummy. It is important that this file is in the same directory as the rummy.pyc file.
  3. python3 pirate.py - Starts up a Pirate service. This command should be run in a separate shell for each pirate that the user requires. At least two instances of the Pirate service are required.
  4. python3 main.py - Starts the entire process, starting with the waking of Rummy and the gathering of clues.
