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 multiplayer 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
You must have node installed and have a MySQL db to connect to
The config file (config.js) to connect to your db should be placed in server/db/config
Example of config.js 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 compliance 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.
