The game

We decided to make a pictionary game with a live drawingboard and a chat. To make this possible, we used Socket.IO for the whole game part. Styling is been done with Material UI. The game supports multiple game rooms. Each room can have unlimited numbers of players. When a room is empty, the first player who joins the room is the drawer. The player who guesses the right answer will be the next drawer.
