Neptune’s Pride Notifications

NP Notifications is a python notification tool used for sending you text messages when certain conditions are met. Initially, the main condition is if a new, moving, enemy fleet has entered your scanning range.

Installation

Firstly, get your username, password, your user ID, game ID (url), and game API key from your Neptune’s Pride game. Next, you will need to create a Firebase account with Firestore. There must exist a “fleets” table in this database. Next, you will need to create a Twilio account in order send text messages.

Use the package manager pip3 to install the requirements.

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Create a .env file with the following fields:

USERNAME=np_username
PASSWORD=np_password

CURRENT_GAME_ID=game_id
API_VERSION=0.1
API_KEY=api_key

TWILIO_AUTH=twilio_auth
TWILIO_SID=twilio_sid
TWILIO_PH=given_twilio_phone_number
NOTIF_PH=your_phone_number

Usage

You can run this locally by uncommenting the debug statements in main.py. This will allow flask to run and setup the webserver. The check.py file handles all checks. So running the begin_check() function there will scan your area and text you if a ship is approaching and your .env is setup correctly.

In order to get this to run constantly, I highly recommending uploading the project to a Google Cloud Platform App Engine instance. Make sure that the Google Cloud Scheduling system is enabled for this to constantly update you. To change the custom check time, check cron.yaml
