BouncifyRN

Ballz has enjoyed a lot of family competition in our home. But the app is getting bloated with ads and I need a new side project. So I'm going to try and re-write in React Native and see what happens. React Native isn't the best gaming plaform, it's probably going to be terrible. But it will also be a fun test of the performance improvements coming in Fabric.

Quick Start iOS

git clone https://github.com/jmwind/bouncifyrn.git

cd bouncifyrn

npm install

react-native run-ios
