This repository is the backend of the multiplayer portion of the [Tetri5](https://github.com/gio101046/tetri5) game client. It uses the python `websockets` library to allow game clients to connect and communicate in real time.

## Run Locally

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

From your terminal move to the root of the project and run the following line:

```bash
python main.py 
```

In some systems you may need to run this instead:

```bash
python3 main.py 
```

## Deploy

This backend can be deployed using Heroku. Download and install the [Heroku CLI](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-command-line) and run the following commands:

```bash
