Intention

This project will become an app for hosting playing card games in the browser. I am using the wonderful SocketIO Typescript Chat project below as a starting point. The rest of the info in this file regards that project; more info regarding the card game engine as it's built.

Progress

Many features are functional; more are being added. This app is now being hosted on Railway!

Card-game Client

You may have to poke the server and wait a moment, since free heroku dynos tend to fall asleep. Note there is literally no web front-end, so this call will return an error (cannot GET /), but it will wake the server up.

I'm not on Heroku anymore, I have no idea if this is true for Railway.
