A movie image guessing game for fun on Zoom calls.
Thinking of things to do during friendly zoom calls, we started adding movie images to our backgrounds and having others guess. This app is an alternative to finding a movie image, saving it to Desktop, then adding it to virtual background on zoom calls - then doing it all over again for the next movie.
Zoom Movies uses The Movie Database's Discover API to randomly pick movies and display them onscreen. Users can than guess the movie title before revealing.
This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.
Zoom Movies is live on Netlify:
https://zoom-movies.netlify.app
You’ll need to have Node >= 8.10 and npm >= 5.6 on your machine.

In the project directory, you can run:
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.
Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
See the section about deployment for more information.
Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!
If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.
Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.
You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
