Inspiration
The idea of a fun multiplayer game using websockets is what inspired this idea. It all was down to what game to use and Hot Potato came to mind with a twist using memes.
What it does
The tornado web server keeps track of the game timer running asynchronously in the background along with the clients the join and leave. The server uses this data that to send out json packets to clients which is processed via javascript in the client browser to render the page
How I built it
The server was coded in Python and deployed to a DigitalOcean VPS.
Challenges I ran into
Issues I had included managing the asynchornous task to make sure only one timer did not overlap another when clients join and leave.
What's next for Dank Tank
Multi-room support so that only certain groups of friends can play with each other.
