Emoji-battle-royale

A golang webserver I'm using to host a battle royale style voteoff for emojis on my discord. In progress.

Work in progress

$ go run webserver.go

... and point a browser at http://localhost:8097 which returns an HTML webpage (home.html).

Installation

I have tested the following installation on Ubuntu 18.04.1 x64 using a Digital Ocean dropplet

$ cd /srv
$ git clone https://github.com/cbahn/Emoji-battle-royale
$ apt install --yes gcc
$ snap install go --classic
$ go get github.com/gorilla/mux
$ cd Emoji-battle-royale
$ go build webserver.go
$ ./webserver

Database

BoltDB is used for persistant storage. There are three buckets:

• TRANSACTIONS: transaction# int => json string. Stores each transaction received from clients.
• VOTES: candidane name string => vote total int. The total votes received by the candidate.
• CANDIDATES: candidate name string => bool. Stores if the candidate is still in the running.
