Welcome to the Mountain!

Hiking, skiing, surfing, cycling? Looks like Team Relive decided to grab some bikes and head into the mountains this year.

This project is a simple framework for a game / visualization of our adventure!

Getting started

Create a mirror of this repo

Your solutions should be in a private repo. Since this repo is public, you can not fork it and then make it private.

You can, however, create a private mirror:

1. Create a new private repo on GitHub

Follow the instructions here.

2. Bare clone this repo

git clone --bare https://github.com/relivecc/mountain.git

3. Mirror-push the cloned repo to the private repo you created in step 1

cd mountain.git

git push --mirror https://github.com/exampleuser/new-repository.git

4. Remove the local repo you cloned in step 1

cd ..

rm -rf mountain.git

5. Add reviewers as collaborators

In your private repo settings, add the following GitHub users as collaborators, so that they can review your code:

• Frikkie Snyman
• Ralf Nieuwenhuizen
• Bryan van Wijk
• Pavol Fulop
• Kamil Wojtczyk

Install node_modules

yarn install

Server

The Node.js server is located in /server, it has two simple API methods to return information about the players and starting position of the players in the game.

To run the Node.js server:

yarn server

(initially, this will have compilation errors which are expected)

Client web app

To run webpack dev server.

yarn start

This should open up your browser and automatically reload when there are code changes. You will see a cyclist heading up the mountain.

Click the name tag above him to give him a little push forward!

(Yes; something is wrong with his leg - don't worry about it)

Resolution

Currently, the game has been developed for 1920x1080 and Google Chrome.

Configure Chrome Devtools Device Mode tools to use the right resolution.

Assignment

Make sure you've blocked a couple of hours. Once you're ready for it, let's go:

• Mirror this project. Only work on your mirror (also, don't create PRs to the main project, so other people can't see steal your solutions).
• When moving to the next assignment, branch from your previous solution
• After every assignment, you'll create a PR. Write your PR just like how you'd normally contribute to a code-base. Also make sure to explain your thought process (what paths did you try before coming to your solution), issues you ran into, etc.
• We'll look at commit / push times to see which exercises went smooth and which took longer. No worries; some are expected to take quite a bit!

Before looking at the assignments below, set your start-time by pushing a commit to master; add yourself to server/players.ts so you will appear in the game later on! (no need to fix the build yet - and this will be your only commit to master).

Done?

Let's get started with the next steps:

1. Part 1: Server-side
2. Part 2: Widgets
3. Part 3: Don't collide
