Keybout is a simple web-based multiplayer keyboard racing game, where the players have to type random words before the other players.
The first version started in 2014 as a sample WebSocket application and used JavaScript, WebSocket, Java EE 7 and Java.
This second version is a full rewrite and uses Angular, SockJS, Spring Boot and Kotlin.
Prerequisites: Java 8+, Node.js 10+ with NPM
To start the frontend locally, run npm install then ng serve in keybout-frontend
or use your IDE.
To start the backend locally, run mvnw spring-boot:run in keybout-backend
or use your IDE.
To build a single deployable fat jar containing the whole application,
run mvnw package -Pfull from the home folder then use keybout-backend/target/keybout-backend.jar.
Omit -Pfull if you prefer to separate the fontend and backend packages.
The application uses an optional MongoDB database to persist some data,
if the spring.data.mongodb.uri is defined.
