The students’ buggy editor
At the start of the project, each student has the source code for a basic Flask application called the buggy editor. It lets them edit the specification of a racing buggy, and produces the JSON data that needs to be input to the race server to enter races. The buggy editor is a working application, but it is very limited: it simply lets you edit the number of wheels the buggy has. As the students work through the project tasks, their buggy editors get increasingly complex.
Before the project starts, you should make a fork of our buggy editor repo and customise it to match your project. For example, the README.md and the app.py should both ideally link back to your own race server. There’s an admin buggy editor page on the server to help you with the customisation.
