Final day, Day 99, use Uplink
0:03
to write a client that then consumes the API.
0:07
One thing you'll have to be really careful about
0:09
is you have to have the flask server running
0:12
while you run your client game code,
0:16
because obviously the server has to be running
0:18
for you to talk to it.
0:20
Other than that, right, it's pretty straightforward
0:22
to use Uplink, you can borrow the code
0:25
that we wrote, and those little helpers
0:27
make the code a little bit cleaner.
0:29
But use Uplink, or if you'd rather,
0:30
just use the raw requests code,
0:32
although it's slightly more cumbersome,
0:35
but would totally work as well,
0:36
it's not that big of a difference.
0:38
And I probably won't get done early
0:40
but if you and you feel like, hey,
0:42
I want to do something bigger,
0:44
you can jump over here to Heroku,
0:47
Heroku is like a simple platform,
0:49
it's a service for, really popular among Python developers,
0:52
and you follow their getting started guide,
0:54
you could put this not just on your machine,
0:56
but you could put it on the internet
0:58
and play it from your phone,
0:59
play it from all over the place, share it with your friend,
1:01
whatever you want to do.
1:02
So that's kind of a stretch goal if you happen to get there,
1:06
but if you don't, don't feel bad about it.
1:09
This is a big deal, this is your
1:10
last major block of three days
1:12
and so you are almost done with your #100DaysOfCode,
1:15
it's awesome you made it this far,
1:17
and I hope you're loving what you're doing.
