About the game

This is a memory based game built for the MongoDB Atlas Hackathon. Players can create game lobbies and invite others using a link. They can simulataneously play the memory game and whoever finishes first, essentially wins and the game quickly ends as someone finishes the game as a winner.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

When testing the app, please wait a while as the heroku instance (dyno) might still be down, since it is on a free teer. Once you log in, you can wait for a few seconds and try again to see everything working.

Built with

The game is built using Angular, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, NestJS, MongoDB 😄 (of course), and Firebase. Also, with a lot of and hardwork 💗. Which can be seen at either Twitch or YouTube as all of this was streamed LIVE with all my efforts, frustration, and small wins…

Here's a demo video explaining the workflow 🙂

Please note that the backend is deployed on a FREE dyno of Heroku. So when you try the app, it might take some time before you get a network response as the dyno might be sleeping. Takes a few seconds before it wakes up and starts responding.

Hoping for the best 🤞 This was fun!!
