Introduction

This is a real-time, multiplayer, online application to play the popular card game of Hearts. The game supports 2 and 4 player game rooms.

Registration (with encrypted passwords)
Login / Logout (with sessions)
Lobby page: contains a lobby chat, list of current games, options to create a game, join an already made game that is not full, observe a game, and rejoin a game.
The application supports an arbitrary (infinite) number of concurrent games, and a given player can participate in multiple games (in different tabs).
Game rooms have their own dedicated game chats.
Game rooms also allow users to join in as observers to just watch the ongoing game.
Game rooms also contain a nudge button that ends the game on a 30 second timer if no action is taken by an opposing player.
Game state is persisted in the database. If a user closes a tab, and reconnects to the game, the game will be reloaded for that user.
Game state is updated in real time in response to user events and interaction with the game using Socket.IO
All the logic of the standard hearts game has been implemented and tested.

$ git clone https://github.com/rohan8594/Hearts-Game.git

$ touch .env
$ echo DATABASE_URL=postgres://`whoami`@localhost:5432/DATABASE_NAME >> .env

$ npm install
$ npm run db:migrate
$ npm run db:seed:all
