Inspiration
Mechanical Keyboards sound like typewriters
What it does
Its a game where the goal is to type the given paragraph accurately and more quickly than your opponents. You can see your opponents progress in real time. When a player finishes a paragraph, the gun in the middle attempts to fire on a random player (one of the ones that didn't finish, Russian roulette style). The last player to survive wins.
How I built it
Grails 3 application, deployed to Elastic Beanstalk (AWS). AngularJS with WebSockets for real time communication
Challenges I ran into
WebSocket connections, Untypable characters (MS Word's slant quotes, UTF conversion artifacts, etc), Event driven modelling. WebSocket requests are not real grails requests and therefore have no sessino so Hibernatte cannot be used for storage...
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
WebSockets
What I learned
A lot.
What's next for TriggerType
Chris will likely work with it for a few more weeks.
