Mindsweeper v5.0, Utsav 2016
----------------------------

Mindsweeper is the official treasure hunt for Utsav.

The web-application is built using Flask and it's extensions (flask-login, flask-seasurf).
The back-end of the application (storing user and level data) is implemented using redis (py-redis SDK).
At the time of writing, the application is hosted on a free-tier instance of Google Compute Engine (update: defunct now).
For handling concurrency, the application runs on top of gunicorn. The front-end of the application is implemented HTML, CSS and a little bit of JavaScript.
The HTML pages are rendered using the Jinja2 templating engine.

You can run: sudo pip install --upgrade flask flask-login flask-seasurf redis. 

To start the server in production, run startup.sh (change the number of workers for gunicorn accordingly).
If you have to run a single instance, run server.py with the 'debug' option set to True for local development/testing.

Note: The CSS was written in a hurry, so please feel free to refactor it.
