Multiplayer-game

In week 7 of the Codaisseur Academy we were challenged to build a multiplayer game upon a Tic-Tac-Toe logic which was provided. What we did was:

• Extending the board from 9x9 to 12x22 so there us a grid for a board
• Add two players to the board which can move from two different computers using the keyboard arrows
• Break the 'turn-based-play' mode so both players are free to move asychronously
• Adding monsters that changed either randomly or structured over the board once a player makes a step
• Adjust the login and authorization so it supportes our gameplay
• Fixing additional bugs such as the possibility to walk off the board
• Add styling with CSS

Gameplay

• Once setup two players on different computers can challende each other.
• One player creates a new game, the other joins it.
• A player needs to fly to the other side of the screen.
• But watch out for the flying monsters!!

Development and local deployment

To start our app:

1. git clone repro
2. cd to /server and run ' npm install'
3. in same terminal, run 'npm run dev'. Leave open.

• a server

4. run a local Postgres DB

5. make sure the server connects to the same port as the local postgres

6. cd to /client and run 'npm install'

7. in same terminal, run 'npm run start'. Leave open

• a browser should be opened with the game

6. open a incognito window and browse to the same localhost
7. you're good to go!

TO PLAY ON DIFFERENT COMPUTERS

1. run everything above on one computer.
2. change the 'localhost' in /client/src/constant to your local IP adres
3. change the 'localhost' in /server/src/DB to your local IP
4. in next computer browse to the IP:{port}/games
