About The Project

I absolutely love Blooket and almost everything about it, but always felt something was missing from it. Some very experienced developers have created Blooket cheats / hacks for the game, but not many have made something for Blooket as a whole. I have always wanted to create my own custom packs, blooks, games, and more. This is why I created Blacket, the first ever open-source Blooket private server.

Getting Started

Having any debian server should be good for Blacket. If you don't know where to start, I would recommend Linode for beginners.

Prerequisites

The following packages need to be installed before starting:

• NodeJS

  cd ~
  curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x -o /tmp/nodesource_setup.sh
  sudo bash /tmp/nodesource_setup.sh
  sudo apt install nodejs

• MySQL

  sudo apt update
  sudo apt-get install mysql-server

  Follow the instructions for all of the packages that will show on screen.

Installation

1. Clone the repository into your home folder:

   cd /tmp
   git clone https://github.com/XoticLLC/Blacket.git
   mv -v /tmp/Blacket-master ~/blacket

2. Move to the frontend directory and install dependencies:

   cd ~/blacket/frontend
   npm i

3. Build the react app:

   npm run build

4. Move to the backend directory and install dependencies:

   cd ../backend
