Real-time Tic-Tac-Toe game implemented using MEAN stack and socket.io

• User register/unregister, login/out, social login
• Real-time multi-player game
• History game review
• Mobile-friendly
• Single-page application
• Admin CRUD features

Two user roles are implemented in this web app

1. Player
2. Admin

• User can register, or use Facebook/Google login to get access to the games.
• Player can choose to play locally (with computer) or online (with other players)
  • For local games, I consumed a third party API endpoint for game strategies against the player. The API algorithms, however, are so optimized that I am not able to win a single match... Because the restrictions from the API, the local game only supports 3×3 game
  • Players can choose grid from 3 to 10 in multi-player game. By clicking the join room button, the app will look for rooms available to join, or if no room available, create a new room. Because of the nature of socket.io, all data between users will be transmitted in real time.
• A normal player can view his game history with computer/human. Inside the listing view, he is also able to view the game move-by-move using back/forward steppers.
• An admin has some superpowers, he is able to
  • View all users
  • Edit user credentials/roles
  • Remove users
  • View all games by that user
  • And of course, view all games by all users

• For Local Game:

  At the beginning, it will take the API about 5 seconds to respond and make a move (the third-party Heroku App needs to wake up from sleep due to inactivity)

• For Online Game:

  You will need to

  1. use a different browser OR same browser but the other page in incognito mode
  2. use two different accounts

  to start the game (so that the user cannot cheat easily :D)

0. Make sure you have Node.js and MongoDB installed and configured
1. $ git clone https://github.com/jeremylinlin/tic-tac-toe-mean.git
2. $ cd tic-tac-toe-mean/
3. $ npm install
4. $ node server.js
5. Visit http://localhost:3000/

In addition, you will need to

1. Go to Facebook/Google developer page and create an app for OAuth authentication, and get their client id and client secret
2. Create a file in project root named .env to store those environment variables

These environment variables should be present in your .env

• WD_SESSION_SECRET=?
• GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=?
• GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=?
• GOOGLE_CALLBACK_URL=http://localhost:3000/auth/google/callback
• FACEBOOK_CLIENT_ID=?
• FACEBOOK_CLIENT_SECRET=?
• FACEBOOK_CALLBACK_URL=http://localhost:3000/auth/facebook/callback

To login the game as an admin, you will need to register a user, and then manually add a role 'ADMIN' to this user from MongoDB.
