Blindtest

Blindtest is a multiplayer musical game (up to 16 simultaneous players). This is a very early version and surely contains bugs.

This project was initially made for the BeMyApp Deezer contest (48h hackathon).

Gameplay

The main screen plays a 30sec audio sample of a random song
4 possible answers are displayed
with their mobile phone, players have to guess who is the singer of the song

Installing

Get the source git clone git://github.com/mauricesvay/Blindtest.git
cd Blindtest
Install dependencies (socket.io, express, sqlite3) with npm install .

Starting the game

node app.js
open http://localhost:8080/spectate in your browser. It is now the main screen.
each player can now join the game at http://MAIN_SCREEN_IP_ADDRESS:8080/
when all players are ready, you can start the game on the main screen.

TODO

~~Start a new round when a round is finished (so you don't have to restart the app)~~
~~Let users join anytime~~
Let users create "rooms"
Let users login with a FB or Twitter account
Let users select a playlist to choose songs from
Implement lag compensation
Play audio on clients
Make it easier to change options
