Nimblecode is a code type-racing game to improve your speed and accuracy as a coder. You can either race against the clock, or show off your skills in live muliplayer with your friends in a private or public game.
Nimblecode was started by four software engineers in Los Angeles with a vision of building a game that was both fun and educational. Play today at nimblecode.io.
Here is a quick step by step if you'd like to contribute to our project
Fork the repo and clone locally
You must have node installed and have a MySQL db to connect to
You can set up a local db to connect to
The config file to connect to your db should be placed in server -->db -->config -->config.js
#####Example of config layout:
module.exports = {
db_host: 'HOST_IP',
db_user: 'DB_USER',
db_password: 'DB_PASSWORD',
db_name: 'DB_NAME',
charset: 'utf8'
};
clone the repo where you would like
git clone https://github.com/nimblecode/nimblecode.git
cd into directory
cd nimblecode
run npm install
npm install
We often use nodemon to run node and it will relaunch node when changes are saved. To get nodemon
npm install nodemon -g
start the server!
npm start
default port on the project is 8080 as compiance with AWS it should console.log
listening at http://localhost:8080/
We have a few tests for server side, please feel free to add more.
Our config is setup to run the test easily with npm.
npm test
Deployment info will change bewteen your choice of platform to use. We used a AWS(Amazon Web Services) EC2 instance that hosted our server and Database on the same instance. There are tutorials and info to do this on Amazon.
