Getting started

To start using it, just initialize the database and add some codes. Example:

python monopoly.py --initialize-db
python monopoly.py --insert-code 8Y15G --contributor Yoel

Then you can simply check your 'balance' of codes collected:

$ python monopoly.py --check-prizes
Checking if you guys won some prize...
Group 8Y: 1/8

Sharing information

If you want to share information with your roomate, just interchange the monopoly.db file and run python monopoly --merge-database < db_file >

Inserting multiple codes at once

If you want to insert multiple codes at once, you can use the insert_tickets.sh script, which will prompt you for an owner and then as many codes as you want to add. Do not forget to --initialize-db first.
