You can always un-comment it afterwards. This will start to show you what the code does. You can also start with a framework , which is a collection of assets and scripts for a common game type.
Each of these includes Lua scripts you can dive into. Playing with scripts will teach you a ton, even if they break — especially if they break.

Join us for a monthly mash-up of news, opportunities and bite-size learning for anyone that wants a career in the UK games industry. The advantages of knowing how to program include: You will make better design decisions because you know how the game systems work. You will fix bugs faster and give better feedback to team members. You can create tools and scripts to save yourself time.
If you really take to it, you open up new career options like technical artist or technical designer. What is scripting? Once logged in, go to the Level One page to find out how to beat this first Bandit level or keep reading. Once the correct credentials have been provided, you're sucessfully connected to Bandit level zero and will see a shell similar to below.
You will have access to the root directory contents for the corresponding level. When solving most of the Bandit games, I found myself repeatedly using a few shell commands. Since we're starting at the root directory for every new level, it's wise to list the directories contents with ls every time you connect to a new OverTheWire game server.
After running ls in bandit level zero, the output returns all the directory contents. Within this level, there is only one file named readme existing inside the current directory.
Next, use the command ls with flags -la to list all hidden files in long listing format within the bandit level root directory. To define the flags or options, take a look below. You should see the above file structure in your corresponding shell when performing the ls -la command after connecting to Bandit level zero.
The password needed to access Bandit level 1 via SSH is stored in a file called readme located in the root directory. Use the password you've uncoverered in the previous level to log into Bandit Level One. Whenever you find a new password. Copy it to your clipboard before using SSH on port with the corresponding level username bandit1 to log into the next level and continue bandit wargames.
For these first few levels, passwords are usually hidden in files that contain ASCII characters or are considered to be human-readable files.
To find the first password for bandit level zero we will use the shell command find. This intermediate step using find is not necessarily needed here as the password could be found via 'trial-and-error' by opening each file in the current directory. But, I thought it was good practice to show moving forward into the next levels. You can proceed to opening each of the files using cat filename on macOS, but I have a good feeling about the first file in the output: readme. Lets open it. Copy the password you found to your clipboard or a place you wont forget.
You will need to use it to SSH into the next bandit level. Use the exit command to disconnect from a bandit level after you're ready to move on.
Now that you've become relatively familiar with the Bandit shell and how to go about finding passwords. Lets jump right into connecting to Bandit level one and find the hidden password! If you're following along through OverTheWire's website. We're told that the password for this level is stored inside a file named - located in the home directory. The first order of business will be connecting to Bandit level one using bandit1 as the username on port This levels password will be the characters you copied to clipboard after performing cat.
If the correct password is provided then you will have successfully connected to the bandit level one shell. You terminal or command line should display an output similar to the code snippet below.
Now that your connected to the bandit server lets find the password stored in a file called -. Like always, lets list all of the root directories contents with ls -la. The next one starts the server. It works! A real-world web project usually has more files than that.
These are a few of the common directories in a Flask project:. Most Flask apps have the following basic file structure:. Note that this config file is very simplified and would not be appropriate for a more complex application.
For bigger applications, you may choose to have different config. You may have some variables that should not be publicly shared, such as passwords and secret keys. Next, we have to initialize our app with all our configurations. All we have to do now is configure our run.
We use the app. Of course, the index. Go ahead; run the app and see:. Flask allows us to use a variety of template languages, but Jinja2 is by far the most popular one. Remember it from our installed dependencies? Jinja provides syntax that allows us to add some functionality to our HTML files, like if-else blocks and for loops, and also use variables inside our templates. Jinja also lets us implement template inheritance, which means we can have a base template that other templates inherit from.
Cool, right? Congratulations for making it this far and getting your first Flask website up and running! I hope this introduction to Flask has whetted your appetite for exploring more. You now have a great foundation to start building more complex apps.
Do have a look at the official documentation for more information.
