Spin up a local server:

node server.js

Open localhost:8080 in your browser & enjoy! :)

Accomplishments

Within 24 hours, our team was able to familiarize ourselves with the following web/game development technology to deliver a 2D multiplayer game:

  • node.js for dependency management
  • phaser.io game engine to do the heavy lifting
  • express.js to handle routing/server
  • socket.io to enable multiplayer

What We Learned

  1. Javascript syntax
  2. Dependency management using node.js
  3. Simple game-networking design allowing communication between multiple clients
  4. How to set up a web application
  5. How to deploy a project to heroku
  6. How to stay awake for 24+ hours
