Farmers Market

Farmers Market is a place for people to exchange goods. The objective for the user is to buy low and sell high. A leaderboard page displays the ranking of users who are currently playing the game.

Technologies

• Mongo, Express, Angular, Node, Grunt, ES6, Babel

Setup

Make sure mongo is running in an open tab

• npm install
• grunt - Leave this running in it's own tab
• npm start - Create a new tab for this

All client work should be done in the client/ directory and all server work should be done in the server/ directory. Files in the server/public/ directory should not be modified directly.

Base Functionality

Document your project and your code as you go!

• Ability to register and log in
• Display a list of available items to purchase on the Marketplace page
• Ability to buy or sell items available for purchase
• Server should randomly change product prices (within a 1 - 15 cent range) every 10 seconds for each product
• Client will check for updates every 8 seconds
• Leaderboard page that displays the top 10 users ranked by the most cash on hand
• Leaderboard is refreshed every 10 seconds automatically

Assumptions

• Each item has unlimited quantity
• Prices for items may not go below 50 cents and may not go above 49 dollars and 99 cents.
• User may not spend more money than they have
• Players ranked by cash on hand, no need to account for current supply of goods
• We're using polling so it's possible the client prices will be slightly behind the server, always use the server price when completing a transaction

Stretch Goals

• Leaderboard should take into account current inventory
• Market items should be moved from an array into the database
• Use Angular Material to layout and style your content
• Add a sell all inventory button
• Host on Heroku
• Each market item should have a limited inventory
