ATTACK! - A fork of Retaliation for use with php script

Summary

http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000043.html

Do programmers have quiet working conditions?

Hell no! That's why they all wear headphones! But how do you get their attention without looking like an idiot? ("scuse me. ummm. Jill? can you hear me? Scuse me")

Attack! solves this problem.

How to Use

  1. Install Apache and PHP on your Raspberry Pi. The user running Apache (www-data by default) needs to be able to execute sudo commands without entering a password.

    E.g. in /etc/sudoers: www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL Hint: use sudo visudo to edit sudoers file.

  2. Modify your COMMAND_SETS in the attack.py script to define your targeting commands for each one of your d programmers. A command set is an array of move and fire commands. It is recommend to start each command set with a "zero" command. This parks the launcher in a known position (bottom-left). You can then use "up" and "right" followed by a time (in milliseconds) to position your fire.

    You can test a set by calling attack.py with the target name. e.g.:

     python attack.py "[developer's user name]"

    Trial and error is the best approach. Consider doing this secretly after hours for best results!

  3. Download the Missle Attack! source code from github (https://github.com/balsama/Missile-Attack) and place it in your web root directory.

  4. Modify the select list in index.php to match the names of your developers defined in the COMMAND_SETS in attack.py.

  5. Install Python PyUSB Support (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyusb/)

  6. Mount your Dream Cheeky Thunder USB Missile Launcher in a central and fixed location and connect it to your Raspberry Pi.

  7. The next time someone is ignoring you, load up the index.php file in a browser and fire away!
