A little CLI tool written to randomly scan Jackbox Servers for active rooms.
Features:
- Filter only rooms which can be joined as players. (
-playableflag) - Filter only rooms with no password protection (default. Turn this off with
-passwordsflag) - Concurrent requests for fast performance. Usually you can find a room within 10-20 seconds. (Modify concurrency level with
-workersflag) - Manually check specific 4-letter room codes by passing them as positional arguments.
You'll need a go compiler: just go get it:
$ go get github.com/kklash/jackbox_scanner
$ jackbox_scanner -h
Usage of ./jackbox_scanner:
-first
Terminate upon finding first valid room code.
-game string
Only show games of this game type.
-passwords
Show games which are password-protected.
-playable
Only count games open to joining as players.
-verbose
Enable verbose logging of each request.
-workers int
Number of parallel workers checking rooms. (default 5)
To scan for any available and unlocked rooms, just run the program with no arguments:
$ jackbox_scanner
It will start printing the number of room codes it has checked thus far, and will dump the room info on any active ones it finds:
Room codes checked: 47
FOUND ROOM CODE: LQJE
{
"apptag": "quiplash2",
"audienceEnabled": true,
"numAudience": 0,
"error": "",
"joinAs": "audience",
"requiresPassword": false,
"roomid": "LQJE",
"server": "ecast.jackboxgames.com"
}
If you wish to scan specific room codes, pass them as positional arguments, like so:
$ jackbox_scanner abbb jjsz nquf
ABBB: EMPTY
NQUF: **** FOUND ROOM ****
JJSZ: EMPTY
