Escape from Wonderland

Inspiration

Our interests:

distributed systems
front-end web development
cyber security
being a "code-monkey"

We decided to put our interested together and host an, escape room, webapp that was alice in wonderland themed. Each room would be hosted by a different server and be a different world in the taill's settings. To escape a room, users would have to complete some puzzle. Puzzles are geared towards all demographics so there are normal games and beginner/intermediate-level security puzzles.

What it does

3 escape rooms (html based, maze, filesystem)
database is hosted on a separate server
docker simulates different machines

How we built it

sql, react, docker, express, node.js

Challenges we ran into

how to host different webservers and our plan b was to use docker containers.
integrating all work

Accomplishments that we're proud of

database/node communication
3d maze
front-end

What we learned

dont use docker to host a distributed server lol. AWS or some automated management would have saved us a lot of time
puzzle complexity will heavily impact how much various servers would have to communicate. we opted to make services distributed instead of server communication
