This project was made in a weekend while I had covid. Functionally, it did not turn out too bad. The server backend was built with Socket IO in NodeJS.
Players have the ability to:
- Choose a username and colour
- Send messages
- Join in progress game
Only game runs at a time. Nothing is saved, so once the server is shutdown everything is lost. Once you login, your colour and username are saved in the browser cookies. To change your username/colour, simply delete the respective cookie(s) under
Application => Cookies, or open the page in an incognito window.
To run the project, install all dependencies and type node index.js.
The server runs on port 80, simply navigate to localhost.
If you port forward on port 80 and you share your public IP, your friends over the internet can join. *I would NOT recommend leaving your port open though.
