supersephy / gonegamer

The repository for the GoneGamer website that centralizes all of it's files, documentation, and communication surrounding the project.

Welcome to Gone Gamer!

Set Up

This will be the new repository used by the website v2.0!

This project uses the Node Project's Express framework which will require you to have Node installed on your machine.

Additionally, this project will use both MySQL and MongoDB - for local development it's required to have both of these either running on your machine or configured in your config.js so the app has read/write access.

Once you've cloned down the repo running the following ought to complete the current set up for the project. (If you add anything that requires set up - please document the steps necessary below).

# Install the Node Module Dependencies
npm i 

# Build the project's public resources (JS, CSS, etc.)
grunt build

# Run the project
DEBUG=goneGamer:* NODE_ENV=local nodemon start  # if you've globally installed nodemon
    # OR
NODE_ENV=local npm start

# Test a Page
http://localhost:8080/

At this point you should be ready to begin contributing.

Running the Project Locally

From the repo directory in your command line, you should only need to run some variation of NODE_ENV=local npm start, I recommend using DEBUG=goneGamer:* NODE_ENV=local nodemon start if you have nodemon installed globally on your machine. The DEBUG will allow route/lib console logging to be more relevant, setting the NODE_ENV will let the app know which environment to use (mostly for database switching), and nodemon watches for updates to several key files and restarts the service for you - reducing the need to stop and start the service when updating route, lib, etc files.

Developer Info

Databases:

The project uses Express-Session and Connect-Mongo-Session for managing session info.

May introduce JSON Web Tokens later.

Deployment

Gone Gamer is currently hosted by openShift. The site is automatically updated with current content on pushed to a specific repo.

Set up

From the directory

# Of course you can call it whatever you want instead of 'deploy'
git remote add deploy ssh://[email protected]/~/git/first.git/

Deploying

From the directory, after all updates are commited (git)

git push deploy

After deployment

Currently, the config.js is completely removed on deployment. Until an automatic method is found, you'll either need to set up rch scp (openShift's Command Line Interface), set up a SFTP service like Filezilla, or let Ross know so he can put the file back.

Video Chat

Look into integrating a video chat feature.
Looking into WebRTC, open-source git repos, jQuery plugins, npm, and bower packages.

Expand Automatic Chat - Add room/filter functionality

Add a feature where a user can create a tab with selective filters like only show private messages,
only show messages from 1,2,...,n players, create a group chat for players a,b, and c.

Improve Right Side Panel - Expand/Collapse Enhancement

Add UI enhancement where the user can slide/scale/whatever the right side panel in and out to free up main panel real estate.

Expand Automatic Chat Actions

Add a multiple die check to the chat bar to allow user to roll something like:

2d10+3, 1d6+4

Maybe with or without comma? Semi-colon? Input format TBD
