Warcaby - browser, multiplayer checkers in 3D

It supposed to be a simple school project, but I took it into next level.

• 3D graphic in browser
• 2 players gameplay
• Three.js on the Front-end
• Node.js on the Back-end
• Everything written in Typescript - single codebase
• Impossible to cheat, game logic is a deterministic algorithm that runs on the server and clients

Textures are not mine, they belong to Minecraft.

Set up

Requirements:

• Node.js (tested on 15.12.0) with npm installed

Starting the server

node --experimental-specifier-resolution=node static/js/server.js

Now open http://localhost:8002 on you computer or http://<your-local-ip>:8002 if you open on different computer.

Compiling changes

npm i # only first time
tsc

Remember to restart the server after any change that affects either server or shared code.
