Pre-built version of this server is available online at https://api.pegovka.space/

Swagger docs: https://api.pegovka.space/swagger

How to change message images

1. Change source in src/CosmicMachine/message.txt.
2. Run render-messages.sh (.NET Core should be installed).
3. See result in /message directory.

How to change galaxy.txt

1. Edit source in src/CosmicMachine/CSharpGalaxy.
2. Run compile-galaxy.sh (.NET Core should be installed).
3. See result in /galaxy directory.

How to run pre-built Alien server locally

1. Run icfpcontest2020/galaxy image on port 12345. Image will be downloaded from Docker Hub:

   $ docker run --rm -p 12345:12345 icfpcontest2020/galaxy

2. Open this url in browser: http://localhost:12345/swagger - you will see Swagger docs page for Galaxy API.

3. Try to send simple Countdown request ([0], which is modulated as 1101000):

   $ curl -d "1101000" -X POST "http://localhost:12345/aliens/send"

   You should see modulated response [1,0] (success, countdown is zero):

   11011000011101000

4. So, if everything is fine, then you can use address http://localhost:12345 as serverUrl for your Galaxy Pad implementation.

How to build and run Alien server locally

1. Clone, build with Docker and run on port 12345:

   $ git clone git@github.com:icfpcontest2020/galaxy.git
   $ cd galaxy
   $ docker build -t galaxy .
   $ docker run --rm -p 12345:12345 galaxy

2. Other steps are the same as described earlier.

How to modulate/demodulate Alien strings

Use provided bash-scripts mod.sh and dem.sh (.NET Core should be installed).

You can modulate/demodulate strings from STDIN or from command line arguments:

$ ./mod.sh "[0, 1]"
11010110110000100

$ ./dem.sh 11010110110000100
[0, 1]

$ echo "[0, 1]" | ./mod.sh
11010110110000100

$ echo 11010110110000100 | ./dem.sh
[0, 1]

You also can pipe this modulating/demodulating with sending requests to Alien server:

$ ./mod.sh "[1,0]" | curl -X POST -s -d @- "http://localhost:12345/aliens/send" | ./dem.sh
[1, [[0, 5939854065736244037], [1, 7463090120749941785]]]

$ ./mod.sh "[1,0]" | http "http://localhost:12345/aliens/send" | ./dem.sh
[1, [[0, 5939854065736244037], [1, 7463090120749941785]]]
