Put it on TV

The broadcast server runs an around-the-clock channel: fresh model lineups each match, word-by-word speech pacing, an LLM host calling the action, and every event streamed to spectators over websockets.

uv pip install -e ".[server]"
uvicorn server.main:app --port 8000

Without an OpenRouter key it plays scripted baselines and serves archived replays; with one it seats real models (OPENROUTER_MODELS overrides the roster). GAME_MODES=codewords,taboo rotates games; INTERMISSION_SECONDS sets the between-match lobby.

The channel maintains replays (gzipped event streams, spoiler-safe views derived on read), trace sidecars (per-turn model diagnostics, kept out of replays), and an Elo leaderboard recomputed from full match history.

The spectator client — LUDICA, built on puxel, the design system these docs wear — lives in its own repository and connects to :8000. The server never imports a game directly, only turngames.registry.GAMES: any registered game gets all of this for free.
