Hardware + React = Party Time!
Got a spare 25 minutes to burn? Watch this from React Conf 2016.
Sorry, I got like 30 seconds.
No problem!
Jeoparty is a proof-of-concept, arcade-version of the game show Jeopardy. It is meant to be played with physical buttons, voice control, a screen (preferably one with touch capabilities), and a physical method for selecting questions on a game board. Its UI is lovingly constructed using react.js and the physical interactions are managed with the wonderful Johnny-Five library from Bocoup. The game was initially constructed to run on a Raspberry Pi with Chromium connected to an Arduino but with some small modifications, it should be capable of running on nearly any hardware configuration you prefer.
DEVELOPMENT
Start webpack in one terminal window for hot changes.
npm run dev-server-client
Start the server (with your Arduino / etc plugged in) in another terminal window.
npm run dev-server
See changes at https://127.0.0.1:8080
PRODUCTION
Build production bundle both client and server.
npm run build
Run production client/server React/Express website.
npm run start

- - Write some articles about how any of this stuff works per request of this issue.
- - Either remove
react-routeror do something useful with it. - - Remove
web-reacttech debt - Since I started with web-react as a boilerplate, there's a considerable amount of things that can get stripped out.web-reactwas awesome to just get a node app up and running with something on a page, but it did bring along dependencies that are likely a little excessive and no longer necessary for the game to function. - - Fix
eslinterrors (and there's tons!) - - Create a branch leveraging react-hardware just for fun.
- - Fix up the hack-ish SSL Chromium microphone permission stuff.
- - Clean up and abstract some of the various timers.
- - Create a parts list (with some options).
- - Create a tool list.
- - Buy cat food.
