This project is a multiplayer online game that see people connecting to a host executable by means of their own browsers and competing in a "quote game," with each player making their best guess as to who said the prompt quote! In a year like 2020, having accessible outlets to play games with friends, no matter the distance, is vital and this game is another way to do this!
(Note: as of April 2 2021, the AWS server was shut down since the free trial for the EC2 instance ended)
Go to http://ttgames.us/ in any web browser and fill in the forms: choose a nickname, and type in the game code displayed on the host's screen. This should bring you to a waiting room with the rest of the players until the host starts up the game! Once the game starts, a quote will be displayed with 4 possible answers as to who said it. Make your vote by selecting on your browser. If you got it right, you get a point! Once the host ends the game, the player with the most points wins!
First, Unity must be installed on the host machine. Create a new project and point to "Unity/QuoteGame" in the repository. Once this folder is pointed to, open that project. Under the "Project" tab in Unity, select "Assets/Scenes." Click on the "Game Start" scene and then open the scene. Now, make a directory on your system entitled "build" inside the Unity project directory. In Unity, click File -> Build and Run and select the "build" folder as the destination. This will compile the game and launch it on your system.
Once the game is running, you simply have to create a lobby, wait for players to join (you can play too in a browser or on a phone!), and start the game! At any point, the host can choose to end the game, displaying the top 3 players and their scores.

Integration Testing: We tested our Unity/Browser integration by hosting and joining games. We ensured that the correct signals were being sent at the correct times, that players could not send signals after a question timer runs out, and that games ended correctly.
Load Testing: We tested the load capacity of the amount of players able to join a game. Between our team members, we had 30-40 players join a single game instance and input their answers to questions. This was plenty of capacity for the intended use of the game.
User Acceptance Testing: We hosted a game for classmates to join and they were able to successfully submit their answers to questions and enjoyed playing the game from all around the country and the world.
