My self assigned final project after completing my NodeJs class to demonstrate learning how to create a backend including: sockets, server, CI/CD, MongoDB, Express, NodeJS, Docker and Google Auth.
Players are able to play against the computer (A.I. Fibi), other players online or on a shared device.
The $inc in the server statistics update was interesting to me. I was pleased to be able to increment a dynamic field in a document without having to download the entire document and then reupload the incremented change. Dynamic $inc
Also, my design of how the computer is trying to win on its turn is interesting. The way to win uses the Fibonacci sequence. The number of the remaining sticks needs to be considered as a sum of the largest Fibonacci numbers possible. Then the smallest of these Fibonacci numbers needs to be chosen to be removed if doing so doesn't violate the restrictions on the largest number of sticks able to be chosen. AI Turn
Playing online was a feature added to demonstrate my knowlege of Socket.io. The server and client communitcate over sockets. Rooms are set up by the socket server to allow 2 players to play. The client waits for another player. When both are ready, the client and server emit and receive game play data.
A socket server and http server are running side by side.
Player statistics was a feature added to demonstrate my knowlege of MongoDB and GoogleAuth interaction. A player's statistics are saved by client POST fetches to the server at the end of a game.
A yml file and GitHub Action were added to demonstrate my knowlege of CI/CD. The GitHub Action also creates the opportunity to incorporate Jest and Cypress Tests.
Initial server tests are running. More tests TODO.
Initial client component tests are running. More tests TODO.
Docker container is running well. Dockerfile
- Add more tests
- Add myLogger
- Remove console.logs or change to myLogger
- Remove excess and add pertinent comments
