ERS

MVP implementation of a multi-player real-time Egyptian Rat Screw game. The main pile is represented by a stack, players hands are queues.

Stack

• React (Create React App)
• Redux
• Firebase
  • Fire Functions
  • Firebase Realtime Database

Rules

Objective: The goal of the game is to win all the cards in a deck by slapping the pile fastest when valid card sequences are played.

Valid Card Sequences Currently only the following card sequences have been implemented:

• sandwiches - two cards of the same value in a row
• doubles - two of the same cards with a different value card in between

Current Features

• Players can create new rooms and share room links so friends can join their game.
• Users can join a created room with a url.
• Any user in a room can start a game.
• Users can play cards into a pile in turn, slap piles, and accumulate cards.
• Server determines which slaps are valid are invalid.
  • Slapping a valid sequence fastest adds the current pile into the hand of the first player that slapped.
  • Slapping an invalid sequence "burns" a card, resulting in discarding the first card in a user's hand into the bottom of the pile.

Start Developing

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Clone the repository and run:

  npm start

This will open the project up on http://localhost:3000/. Create React App supports live reloads (on edit).

Deploy

This project is hooked up to Firebase. The following takes care of deployment for the React app as well as Firebase Functions.

  npm build
  npm deploy

To Do

• Implement turns so that users cannot add cards to a pile out of turn (doubly linked list, where tail points to head)
• Identify to all users whose turn it is (either by highlighting user's deck whose turn it is or having some type of indicator)
• Implement rules for playing face cards
