Dungeonwall (v0.6)

Build DM screens or layout player info in a nice masonry-style grid.

WIP; and on-hold while I get settled at a new job!

Demo: Demo is of version v0.2 - significant changes have gone in since this version. View at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxwmahfIVFE

Running this Software

• Run the server from the dungeonwall directory with 'npm run start'
• Create a .env file -- see blank.env for format.
• Create a mongoDB instance and start it up. Will be setting up a docker file to make this easier... eventually.
• Run 'npm run sass' in the dungeonwall/frontend directory to make sure styles are up to date.
• Run the front-end from the dungeonwall/frontend directory with 'npm run start'
• Navigate to localhost:8080 to view the frontend. If everything went well, you should have the demo panels loaded.
• There's a seedDB file you can run with 'npm run seed' to create a new wall with panels. You'll need to delete the wall if you need to reseed!

Known Bugs

• Filters currently pointing at wrong things.
• issues when saving an edit (not new panel)

Near Future Extensions

• Adding some control over the wall itself (naming, color, etc)
• Reconsider spacing of panels - would be nice to have these align better.
• Multiple users
• Better backend validation, authentication
• UI should indicate keyboard controls!
• Weird issue with screen height not filling BG

Future Extensions

• Add controls for multiple walls (including having multiple pages on a wall)
• Renameable panel types (esp to allow for other types of note pages)

Tech Debt Inventory

• PanelOrder is duplicated in state - it exists as an attribute but also in dirtyContent. Yuck.
• SeedDB still lackluster when I need to start again from scratch. Really need to prioritize using a docker file
• Clean up the sass files, split them up a bit
• Hardcoded keyboard controls... also, they would break on a non-QWERTY layout. Fix.
