This project is no longer under development
Intuitive, easy to pick up and play mobile game that allows players to test their wits against strangers for money.
Clone the repository to your local machine. Make sure you have nodeJS and npm (package manager) installed on your machine. Run npm install while in the home directory of the project. This will install the project's dependencies. I also suggest install nodemon globally on your machine, which will automatically detect changes to the server file and restart the node process. Once the process is running access the page at http://localhost:8080.
Navigate to the ui/mobile directory and run npm install. While the server & web layer are up and running (the mobile UI communicates with the server process), type ionic serve, which will start up the process and should open the web page for you. If not, then access it via http://localhost:8100.
I found this information to be particularly helpful:
// send to current request socket client
socket.emit('message', "this is a test");
// sending to all clients, include sender
io.sockets.emit('message', "this is a test"); //still works
//or
io.emit('message', 'this is a test');
// sending to all clients except sender
socket.broadcast.emit('message', "this is a test");
// sending to all clients in 'game' room(channel) except sender
socket.broadcast.to('game').emit('message', 'nice game');
// sending to all clients in 'game' room(channel), include sender
// docs says "simply use to or in when broadcasting or emitting"
io.in('game').emit('message', 'cool game');
// sending to individual socketid, socketid is like a room
socket.broadcast.to(socketid).emit('message', 'for your eyes only');
