Multiplayer Poker Game

A Multiplayer Poker Game that uses WebSockets

• Implemented using the MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, NodeJS) stack
• Socket.io is used to provide WebSocket support
• Users can play with each other using Room Codes or choose to queue up for automatic Matchmaking
• Although the game does not need a database, we have implemented user authentication using a REST API that requires us to store data.
• Uses JWT authentication patterns, implemented Refresh Tokens and Access Tokens to protect against XSS attacks. Tokens are stored in Secure, HttpOnly Cookies as opposed to LocalStorage for further protection
• Passwords are hashed using the library bcrypt before saving
• A confirmation email is sent to users before activating their account

Live Demo

You may try the game out by yourself by opening it on two different tabs & clicking the Matchmaking button
