Welcome to the repository for FT Transcendence, a full-stack web application designed for multiplayer ping pong games. This project encompasses a robust set of features including user authentication, real-time gameplay, chat functionality, and administrative controls.

• User Profiles: Create, update, and delete user profiles with enhanced security measures including two-factor authentication.
• Real-time Gameplay: Engage in multiplayer ping pong games with live opponents.
• Chat System: Real-time chat functionality allowing for direct and group messaging.
• Admin Panel: An administrative interface for managing user interactions and gameplay settings.

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Node.js
• PostgreSQL
• Docker (optional for containerization)

To set up the project locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/waelbt/ft_transcendence.git
   cd ft_transcendence

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Set up the database:

   • Ensure PostgreSQL is installed and running.
   • Create a database named ft_transcendence.
   • Run the database migrations and seeders (if any).

4. Configure environment variables:

   • Create a .env file in the root directory.
   • Add necessary configurations (e.g., database URL, secret keys).

5. Start the server:

   npm start

After starting the server, navigate to http://localhost:3000 in your web browser to access the FT Transcendence application. Log in or register a new account to start playing and interacting with other users.

If you prefer to use Docker, ensure Docker and Docker Compose are installed. Then run:

docker-compose up

This will containerize the application and its dependencies, simplifying the setup process.
