This project is about creating a website for the mighty Pong contest! The subject of the project can be found here.

Minimal technical requirement

Important

Some of these contraints could be overriden by the choice of specific modules.

The project must comply with the following rules:

• Development of the site can be done with or without a backend.
  • If a backend is included, it must be written in pure Ruby, unless overridden by the Framework module.
  • If a backend or framework uses a database, the constraints of the Database module must be followed.
• The frontend should be developed using pure vanilla JavaScript, unless altered through the FrontEnd module.
• The website must be a single-page application, allowing the use of the Back and Forward buttons in the browser.
• Compatibility with the latest stable version of Google Chrome is required.
• Users should not encounter any unhandled errors or warnings while browsing the website.
• The entire project must be launched with a single command line to run an autonomous container provided by Docker. Example: docker-compose up --build or make.
