This was a hackathon project orientated around using Whereby's public Browser SDK. We created a Jackbox-esque quiz game with working audio and video tiles for the players.
yarn
yarn start
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
đź‘‘ One player will need to be the quiz master (or party leader) to start the game. They can join using the query parameter http://localhost:3000?quizMaster=true
This project was bootstrapped with Create React App, using the Redux and Redux Toolkit TS template.
The project also uses ChakraUI components and Framer for animation.
Currently, there is a single Whereby room which hosts this game. This could be expanded to generate transient rooms like Jackbox does, for example. For now - Putting your own Whereby room in the config will allow the sdk to connect with your own parameters.
We decided to experiment and see if a many-to-many game connection was possible, using Whereby's socketIO connection, rather than deploying a separate game server and frontend.
The game state (questions, answers, scores etc.) are sent via JSON in the underlying Whereby room's chat functionality (and abstracted from this game).
Therefore no server was required. The static frontend was deployed to
