UCLA CS 35L Final Project
snipes.io is a client/server app for playing a team-based, IRL scavenger hunt game that runs as a general web application (but recommended to be run on a mobile device). 2 teams battle to get the most “snipes”.
Have npm installed on your machine.
cd into your desired directory, and follow the following steps:
git clone https://github.com/GavinWon/snipes.io.git
Create .env file in the backend/ directory
Set “DATABASE_URI” to mongoose link
Example env file and replace ‘username’ and ‘password’ with your credential
DATABASE_URI = mongodb+srv://username:[email protected]/demo
Open a bash terminal.
cd into the snipes.io/frontend/ directory
Run npm install
Run npm start
Open another bash terminal.
cd into the snipes.io/backend/ directory
Run npm install
Run npm start
Once the console says that the “Server Started” and “Connected to Database,” the game is ready to play. Navigate to http://localhost:3000/ to begin. Now, battle with your friends and see who can get the most snipes.
This project was created using the MERN tech stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js)
The UI was made possible by Material UI.
The database is hosted AWS via MongoDB Atlas.
