Playing

One plays accessing API:

• curl localhost:9000/api/status

• curl localhost:9000/api/actions/move

• legal move (green tile) curl -X POST 'localhost:9000/api/actions/move' -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '{"to":{"q": -3, "r": 3}}'

• illegal move (to sea faring) curl -X POST 'localhost:9000/api/actions/move' -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '{"to":{"q": -6, "r": -5}}'

• new movement api: valid directions are [ 'n', 'ne', 'se', 's', 'sw', 'nw' ]

curl -X POST 'localhost:9000/api/actions/move' -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '{"to":"up"}'

curl -X POST 'localhost:9000/api/actions/move' -H 'Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJfaWQiOiI1NzBkMGFkMGQxMzU3OGQ4NDU1NmViYTkiLCJyb2xlIjoidXNlciIsImlhdCI6MTQ2MDQ3MjU4MiwiZXhwIjoxNDYwNDkwNTgyfQ.YCmURip3xMhV8ySmydV1tVOBIGT2xP90tvXIldTOAZ4' -H 'Cookie: XSRF-TOKEN=ATUdw5PoTAo31JESi1njSjCiw1niFh4wuz4EE%3D; connect.sid=s%3AYWdCpGXQDq4zfAiM0TV_V9rQ_-8vdMDI.EBHcz1nUkZuetMEbZvaz0OnFXILasRKYUcciNP%2FeoIg; token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJfaWQiOiI1NzBkMGFkMGQxMzU3OGQ4NDU1NmViYTkiLCJyb2xlIjoidXNlciIsImlhdCI6MTQ2MDQ3MjU4MiwiZXhwIjoxNDYwNDkwNTgyfQ.YCmURip3xMhV8ySmydV1tVOBIGT2xP90tvXIldTOAZ4'\ -H 'X-XSRF-TOKEN: ATUdw5PoTAo31JESi1njSjCiw1niFh4wuz4EE=' -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '{"to":"n"}'
