Zilker Tournament Client

This is the client for our tournament management solution. Players join, get parings, and enter their match results on their phones.

The Zilker Tournament Server is the backend that this client communicates with.

Stack

• Graphql
• Apollo client
• Typescript / React

Live Data (Subscriptions)

Notably this client implements websockets to sync data in real time. There are reconnection hooks that refetch data after lost connection e.g. a player takes their phone out of their pocket after playing chess for 10 minutes.

Getting started

Download NodeJS, if you don't have it. (I'm using v16.5.0)

Install yarn, if you don't have it

npm i yarn -g

Install dependencies

yarn

Start the app

npm run start

TODOs

• Organizations - allow other people to host tournaments (med priority)
• Tournament performance history in profile (low priority)
• Achievements/badges/trophies (low priority)
• Implement a way for players to join without having a phone (low priority - solutions have high lift)
