# wordle-life
|
|
|
|
one-page app that turns wordle shares into standard file format used in the Conway's Game of Life community and sets it up for running in embedded Lifeviewer on the same page
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
This version was rewritten to what I meant to do in the first place, use Mojolicious Lite and take advantage of PATH_INFO routing, so it is simpler. You should be able to run it in any environment where CGI is properly passed the PATH_INFO (SDF has not configured its nginx setup to do so).
|
|
|
|
This single CGI file is expecting to be run out of the /cgi-bin directory. to change the location, you should update $ORIGIN_PAGE to what you expect. You also may need to change the path to /lv-plugin.js in the <script> tags of the html templates in the __DATA__ section.

|
This app is not at all packaged. You'll have to make sure all the perl modules you need are installed. If you are on a community unix server with just user rights (like, say SDF), you may need to ask an admin to install for you, or alternately, you can make a personal perl library in your user space.

Here's what I used to [install the perl module I needed with cpanm](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2980297/how-can-i-use-cpan-as-a-non-root-user). It's just:
|
|
|
|
curl http://cpanmin.us | perl - -l ~/perl5 App::cpanminus local::lib
|
|
eval `perl -I ~/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib`
|
|
echo 'eval `perl -I ~/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib`' >> ~/.profile
|
|
echo 'export MANPATH=$HOME/perl5/man:$MANPATH' >> ~/.profile
|
|
|
|
then for each package, you can run *cpanminus*:
|
|
|
|
$> cpanm Mojolicious::Lite
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
Also, the Life Viewer is a super-cool javascript plugin app from the people at [Conwaylife.com](https://conwaylife.com) that is expected to be in the same directory as the CGI file. It is available with instructions [here](https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Tutorials/LifeViewer_JavaScript_plug-in)
