Welcome to 👾 Games For Geeks 👾, a web application developed within a mere four days for all my fellow indecisive board game lovers. I designed this app in aims to simplify the process of game selection, allowing users to effortlessly browse, explore, and delve into the intricate details of various games. This app transforms game night into a seamless and enjoyable experience.
The user-friendly interface allows for easy game selection based on specific events or preferences. Moreover, user's are able to store and manipulate data by favoriting games of interest, modifying, and viewing their selected games as desired. In addition, if you want more details about a game you can click on the individual card and be taken to another page with comprehensive information and even a link to a YouTube video tutorial, ensuring that users grasp the rules and gameplay mechanics before diving into the game.
During this project, I challenged myself to build a responsive React application in a short deadline with using React, Router, TypeScript, and end to end testing with Cypress.
- Fork this repository to your GitHub account.
- In your forked respository, click the
codedrop-down menu and copy the SSH key. - On your local machine, open the terminal and navigate to the location you'd like the repository directory cloned to.
- Change directories into client and run npm install, then npm start to start the application locally.
- Navigate to http://localhost:3000 in your browser to use the application.
This was the showcase project for Module Three of the Front End Engineering program at Turing School of Software and Design. The goal was to demonstrate skills in React, Router, Asynchronous Javascript, and end to end testing with Cypress.
