How To Set Up A Server For A Local Wifi Multiplayer Game For Python

I'm making a Cards Against Humanity game (but nicer/family friendly-er) and I have it set up where all I need to do is run player functions and then a judge function until someone

Solution 1:

Have you tried network zero? It's an amazing networking library that I use all the time.

Install:

pip install networkzero

PyPI link: https://pypi.org/project/networkzero/

Docs: https://networkzero.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Code sample (from their doc page):

Machine/process A:

import networkzero as nw0

address = nw0.advertise("hello")
whileTrue:
    name = nw0.wait_for_message_from(address)
    nw0.send_reply_to(address, "Hello " + name)

Machine/process B:

import networkzero as nw0

hello = nw0.discover("hello")
reply = nw0.send_message_to(hello, "World!")
print(reply)
reply = nw0.send_message_to(hello, "Tim")
print(reply)

This library also supports more than just 2 connections on the local WiFi, read the docs for more info.
