Inspiration
The strategical game Mafia which includes from 7 to 10 people interacting with each other
What it does
The application consists of a client-side Android application which displays the different interactions. Everything is handled by our server using a client-server architecture
How I built it
We started from creating the back-end server on NodeJs. We used Socket.io to create a bidirectional connection between the clients and the server. Our Client-side was handled by an Android App written in Java using Android Studio. We also used ngrok for connecting the android app with the node.js server
Challenges I ran into
Using sockets instead of polling constantly a database(server).
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We successfully recreated a popular role-playing game implementing different computer science techniques such as client-server architecture
What I learned
We learned a lot about sockets and how to effectively use them. We also touched a bit on networking in trying to connect our back-end and front-end.
What's next for Mafia
We will continue working on the project by extending the available roles you can play with.
