  Gamer Chat :)

Inspiration

Loneliness has skyrocketed during the pandemic, GamerChat allows for lonely gamers to find friends to play games with.

What it does

Given a player's gamer tag and game of choice, the application will pair the player with other gamers that share their game of choice.

How we built it

Build with Node.JS, Express.JS, and socket.io on the back end and with html, css, Javascript on the front end.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into many challenges along the way. The most challenging aspect of this project was designing, this was the most challenging aspect as we had to figure out exactly what backend APIs we have to develop alongside our frontend to make a functional Gamer Chat.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Our biggest accomplishment was creating a functional website to be able to queue up and match with other users with similar interests in games with an ability to chat on the website.

What we learned

One of the main things we learned was how to create a functional website with backend APIs to support the functionality of the Frontend, this was done using NodeJS to develop backend APIs using the REST protocol.

What's next for Gamer Chat

Adding an accompanying interactive multiplayer webgl, VR game with voice chat that allows players to better interact with potential friends.
