Bucket Balls

Bucket Balls lets you connect multiple devices (Smartphones, Laptops,...). Each device becomes a "Bucket". You can create some colored balls inside a bucket. If the device supports the "deviceorientation"-event you can slop the balls from one bucket into another. You can create rulesets to define which bucket is allowed to drop its balls in which other buckets.

Installation

Simply clone the project and run npm install inside the projects directory.

Setup

You can setup bucket balls within the config.js file. There you can define rulesets and and map client IDs to them.

Run

When everything is setup you can start the server with node app.js. Afterwards connect the devices ('buckets') by calling http://[host:port]/client/[clientID] in their browsers. You can then init client 1 for example with 30 balls by typing this command into the bucket command line:

buckets.getBucket(1).addBalls(30);
