partygamepicker Netlify Status Node.js CI

partygamepicker is a simple project for picking a party game out of the many available. It is part of the broader Hidden Roles project.

The project could likely do with more options, so feel free to submit a pull request or an issue if you got ideas. See below for some rough inclusion criteria.

Inclusion criteria

This is a simple idea for what's suitable for this list:

  • Suited for casual play (e.g. not Diplomacy)
  • Easy to learn (e.g. not Diplomacy)
  • Good for a group of people, preferably 4 or more (6+ is even better)
  • Easy to set up (e.g. doesn't need a server a-la CS:GO)
  • Stable & working

Development

This is my first Svelte so it likely is terrible and breaks all sort of conventions. Apologies for that! However, I have to say so far I like this Svelte business.

Run locally

Install the dependencies...

cd svelte-app
npm install

...then start Rollup:

npm run dev

Navigate to localhost:5000. Any changes should be hot-reloaded.

By default, the server will only respond to requests from localhost. To allow connections from other computers, edit the sirv commands in package.json to include the option --host 0.0.0.0.

If you're using Visual Studio Code we recommend installing the official extension Svelte for VS Code. If you are using other editors you may need to install a plugin in order to get syntax highlighting and intellisense.

Building and running in production mode

To create an optimised version of the app:

npm run build

You can run the newly built app with npm run start. This uses sirv, which is included in your package.json's dependencies so that the app will work when you deploy to platforms like Heroku.
