# stex stex (**st**ock **ex**change) is another stock market simulator game like there have been many of before. This one featGures client/server mode in which several clients can play on identical, synchronous stock exchange data (randomly generated, just to be clear). More features are planned, but as of now, clients will already see the wealth of other players in the same group in their game window. # Dependencies These can be installed via `pip3` or your system's package manager: * `PyQt5` (>= 5.11) * `PyQtChart` * `pyzmq` * `arguments` # Usage Run `server/server.py` on one computer. Use `--help` to see options. Once started, it will produce a feed of arbitrarily many stocks, distributed as JSON objects in ZeroMQ messages. On any client, run `client/client.py`. You can again use `--help` for an overview of the available options. The client will store the information you enter in the client window so that you don't have to enter them every time. Note that the `Password` is not used anywhere so far -- it is meaningless. `Group` determines whose wealth numbers you see, so if you play with others you should choose the same group name here.
