This app is an example of a game built on our ForceMove protocol. You can play against a friend or against our bots on the ropsten testnet.
The best way to experience the app locally is to run against an auto-opponent. The following assumes
that you have already cloned the monorepo, and run yarn install from the root folder of the monorepo.
- Start ganache from the root folder of the monorepo:
// in monorepo/ yarn start:shared-ganache - In the rps folder, start the app with the auto-opponent:
// in monorepo/packages/rps AUTO_OPPONENT=B yarn start - In your browser, you will need to set up your ethereum wallet to connect to the ganache network that you started in step 1. The default for ganache is currently localhost:8545.
The app comes bundled with an auto-player and auto-opponent.
The auto-player will automatically take the actions that a user would: joining or starting a game (depending on whether they are player A or B), playing a move, and deciding to play again (after the first round) or not to play again (after the second round).
The auto-player is useful if you want to play in one browser tab, against the app running in a different browser tab. To do this you would:
// in monorepo/packages/rps
PORT=3000 yarn start
// in a new terminal window
PORT=3001 AUTO_PLAYER=B yarn start
You then need to navigate to localhost:3000 and localhost:3001, and navigate past the first screen in both tabs by providing a name. Once past the first screen the auto-opponent will take over and create a game etc.
The auto-opponent bundles a second version of the app, running the auto-player, into your app, so you can play a game without having to setup two servers or open two windows. The setup is simpler, but you don't get to see the other screen.
To run the auto-opponent, you can run
AUTO_OPPONENT=B yarn start
Auto-opponent B will start a game that you can join once. You can also try auto-opponent A, which will join a game that you create.
