Welcome to CrossWars! CrossWars is a real-time online multiplayer game, where you can compete against up to three of your friends (or foes) to solve a crossword puzzle.
Points are awarded per correct word completed, but stay sharp - each word you complete brings your opponents closer to completing the crossword too. With the timer counting down, who can secure the most points and take the crown of the ultimate cross warrior?
CrossWars was written in JavaScript and built with Node.js, Socket.io, Express, Sequelize, PostgreSQL, React, and Redux. Additionally, an external crossword library written in TypeScript was used and modified to support multiplayer via websockets.
CrossWars was made by:

Additionally, the library react-crossword was used as a foundation for the in-game crossword board.
Crossword data was taken as raw jsons from doshea/nyt_crosswords and converted to fit our database.
