Assignment

Please read the project requirements located in the assignment.pdf file in the root of this project.

Getting Started

This is just a vanilla Elixir/Phoenix project with no other external Elixir dependencies and only TailwindCSS on the front-end side. To try it out on your local machine:

1. Install Elixir, Erlang, and Node.js. I recommend installing all three via the asdf Version Manager.
2. Run mix local.hex.
3. Install Phoenix by following the instructions in the Phoenix Installation Guide
4. Head over to Pragmatic Studio and pick up some Elixir courses from Mike and Nicole, because they're amazing. The courses are pretty good too.
5. Grab the code from Github by typing git clone https://github.com/cdeyoung/hero_of_canton_game.git in your favorite directory.
6. Once git has done it's magic, cd into your_project_directory/apps/web/assets and type npm install.
7. Then, cd back to your_project_directory and type mix deps.get to get all the dependencies, even though there aren't any, because it is nice to have good habits.
8. Then, if my brain hasn't betrayed me again, you can run iex -S mix phx.server and browse to The Hero of Canton Game.
