# Wikicrawl
This application plays the road to philosophy game on wikipedia. An
interface is given where the user can launch a browser and have it
repeatedly click the first link on wikipedia articles until it reaches the article on philosophy. Apparently this works for ~97%
of pages. (UPDATE) I have heard this has CHANGED, with the structure of wikipedia pages. I'm curious what happens now.
settings.py: Contains runtime parameters. There are a few things
that need configured correctly for this to run.
launcher.py: Run to start the program. "python ./launcher.py" is the command you need.
setup.py: Installation configuration for third-party dependencies.
To install, run these commands in this directory:
(old instructions, i recommend pyenv on Linux)
virtualenv pythonenv
python setup.py install
python ./launcher.py
