Inspiration
This project is a web game inspired by the TV show 'HitList', with an implementation inspired by Kahoot and Jackbox games.
What it does
It's a game where you can create a room by going to jukemash.co/host and connect from jukemash.co/join and entering the room code. After some players have joined, the host laptop can start the game after which all the users are notified via a rest endpoint that the game has started so they can reveal the answer so the user who buzzed can get their points if they win.
It works by running a python server that serves typescript in response to connections to domain.
How we built it
With blood, sweat and tears. Actually, a loosely coupled REST API server, implemented in Python Flask, and a React TypeScript web app with cute fonts and fun backgrounds :P
Challenges we ran into
Web sockets are confusing.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Published webpage with working functionality.
What we learned
Lots! For one team member nearly everything they did was new :)
What's next for JukeMash
Fixing the bug where the loser is named the winner !!!
