+# Codenames
+
+Realtime-Codenames fuer Browser mit Java Spring Boot, nativen WebSockets und einem statischen HTML/JS-Frontend.
+
+## Funktionen
+
+- Raum erstellen und mit kurzer ID teilen
+- Spieler und Zuschauer koennen demselben Raum beitreten
+- Vier Rollen: Rot/Blau jeweils Hinweisgeber und Ermittler
+- Vollstaendiger Rundenablauf mit Hinweis, Ratephase, Zugende und Siegbedingung
+- Personalisierte Board-Sicht: nur Hinweisgeber sehen verdeckte Teamzuordnungen
+- Kubernetes-Deployment unter `deploy/k8s`
+
+## Lokal starten
+
+```bash
+./gradlew bootRun
+```
+
+Danach ist die App unter [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080) erreichbar.
+
+## Tests und Build
+
+```bash
+./gradlew test bootJar
+docker build -t git.dslan.at/zeugs/codenames:master .
+```
+
+## Deployment
+
+Die Kubernetes-Manifeste liegen unter [deploy/k8s](/Users/dschramm/git.dslan.at/codenames/deploy/k8s) und werden in `argo-cd-apps` als eigene ArgoCD-Application eingebunden.
+
+## Wortbasis
+
+Die deutsche Begriffsliste wurde fuer dieses Projekt aus einer im Web frei herunterladbaren deutschen Nomenliste kuratiert, insbesondere auf Basis der Sketch-Engine-Wortlisten:
+
+- [Sketch Engine Word Lists](https://www.sketchengine.eu/word-lists/)
+- [German noun frequency list (PDF)](https://www.sketchengine.eu/wp-content/uploads/word-list/german/german-word-list-nouns.pdf)

+#   Gradle start up script for POSIX generated by Gradle.
+#
+#   Important for running:
+#
+#   (1) You need a POSIX-compliant shell to run this script. If your /bin/sh is
+#       noncompliant, but you have some other compliant shell such as ksh or
+#       bash, then to run this script, type that shell name before the whole
+#       command line, like:
+#
+#           ksh Gradle
+#
+#       Busybox and similar reduced shells will NOT work, because this script
+#       requires all of these POSIX shell features:
+#         * functions;
+#         * expansions «$var», «${var}», «${var:-default}», «${var+SET}»,
+#           «${var#prefix}», «${var%suffix}», and «$( cmd )»;
+#         * compound commands having a testable exit status, especially «case»;
+#         * various built-in commands including «command», «set», and «ulimit».
+#
+#   Important for patching:
+#
+#   (2) This script targets any POSIX shell, so it avoids extensions provided
+#       by Bash, Ksh, etc; in particular arrays are avoided.
+#
+#       The "traditional" practice of packing multiple parameters into a
+#       space-separated string is a well documented source of bugs and security
+#       problems, so this is (mostly) avoided, by progressively accumulating
+#       options in "$@", and eventually passing that to Java.
+#
+#       Where the inherited environment variables (DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS, JAVA_OPTS,
+#       and GRADLE_OPTS) rely on word-splitting, this is performed explicitly;
+#       see the in-line comments for details.
+#
+#       There are tweaks for specific operating systems such as AIX, CygWin,
+#       Darwin, MinGW, and NonStop.
+#
+#   (3) This script is generated from the Groovy template
+#       https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/2d6327017519d23b96af35865dc997fcb544fb40/platforms/jvm/plugins-application/src/main/resources/org/gradle/api/internal/plugins/unixStartScript.txt
