I got a little over-ambitious which cost me a bit of time and gave me a few bugs, but that said, I still really enjoyed the challenege- plan to make it playable by humans at some point in the future.

gh repo clone chrispydizzle/war
# for dev mode
npm run dev
# for prod
npm run build
npm run start
#for jest tests
npm run test
