#Math-Race

Simple knockout.js / websockets / node.js real-time game

This is a very simple real-time game created with node.js, knockout.js and socket.io.

##Goal

Try to be faster than the other players in solving simple mathematical equations.

Every game has a limited time (defaults to one minute), so hurry up and beat the others.

Game score history is saved across games.

No database required (this is just a quick demo)

Enjoy!

##Demo

http://letsnode.com:8090/

You can also watch a short video to see the game being played

##Installation

###Install dependencies with npm:

npm install

###Configuration

Edit config file to reflect where are you running the server from (so the browser renders the proper link to socket.io resources)

	exports.values={
		version: '0.0.1',
		server : {
			production : {
				real_time_server : {port: 8090, host: '127.0.0.1'}
			}
		}
		,
		game : {
			duration: 60 //seconds
		}
	}

Run the server

node server.js 8090
