Inspiration
We wanted to learn how to create a simple game on react and learn socket io.
What it does
It is a web app that allows user to live chat with other people and play hangman on the side.
How I built it
Using react, express, and socket io. We created the front end and back end in the same repository.
Challenges I ran into
Updating and keep track of states in react and the natural flow of a class component.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Creating my first react mini game.
What I learned
I learned how socket io is used to actively update the live chat.
What's next for MeltMan
Add more functionality such as allow users to play against each other in Meltman.
