NODEZ

We wanted to choose a technology that we were unfamiliar with. We decided to use Node.js and Socket.io to create a multiplayer web app.

We didn't have enough time to polish the graphics or gameplay, but we got some of the core aspects done, like having two clients communicate to each other over a third computer (server, live updates).

We learned a lot over just 24 hours about Node, Express, Sockets, JavaScript, and many other web aspects.

HOW TO RUN

Clone the Git repo Install Node server Install Socket.io with NPM Install Express.js with NPM Start Node server and set your IPV4 in the app.js constant variable Go to the localhost or IP that you set in your browser

I assisted with creating the server architecture. I have minimal experience with Node servers but it was helpful to have an idea of what we needed to complete.

We worked together to learn new technology that we had no experience with, and try to create something unique and creative. I helped build the server and write a lot of the animation scripts with JavaScript. Throughout the process, I learned a lot about Node.js, Express.js, and Socket.io, and helped refine my JavaScript skills. I also created the icon and learned a bit about Adobe Photoshop.

Nate Wiltzius
I love programming and learning new things!
I created our player data object, and successfully created a connection between server and client to stream the player data from server to client. I also helped optimize the client side code. I had no experience with Node.js, javascript, or socket.io going into this. It was quite the challenge!
