Online version of the Jubal game

Setup

Tools setup

• Go to /client/tools and run

npm i

• Run this to start local Firebase server:

firebase serve

• In the event of an auth error after running this, run $firebase login --reauth and then run $firebase serve again

• Server runs on localhost:5000/ and both serves client files and connects to Firebase

Game backend Express server setup (for game, not tools):

• Go to /server and run

npm i

• If needed, run this to set up scaffolding:

express --view=pug org

• Run this to start the Express server:

npm start

or

node server

• Server runs on localhost:4000/ and connects to Firebase and client

Game client setup

• After starting Express backend server (above), go to /client/gamefiles and run:

npm i

• Run to start apache server (may need to set up apache user conf file, set DocumentRoot and Directory paths to /client/gamefiles in apache httpd.conf, and set User to [username] also in apache httpd.conf) - this should only need to be done once unless you have apache set to quit upon restarting the computer:

sudo apachectl start

• Server runs on localhost/ and connects to Express backend server. Reloading server is unnecessary when making changes to src files.
