Game assignment as part of weird of science welcome ritual

To build and run in one command

On Linux / Mac

mvn package && sh target/bin/webapp

On windows

mvn package && target\bin\webapp

Access on the browser

http://localhost:8080

To run the test

mvn test

How to play

• On welcome screen, enter your name and start the game
• Shoot (click) the targets. Smaller targets have bigger point
• When all targets are shot, the game ends
• The one with the most score wins (not shown on UI)

Game mechanic (With default configuration)

• Game will not start until max number of players (2) is reached
• Players who are late to enter the game will be queued in the "lobby" until the existing game is done
• Maximum only 1 game at a time
• When the game ends, it will kick out the existing player and start a new game with any player in the queue if exists
• Note: game can be configured on /src/main/resources/config.properties

Tools that are used

• Java with javax.websocket for communication
• Lombok to reduce boilerplate
• Gson for encoding/decoding
• junit5 for unit test
• ES6 pure javascript on frontend
• Material for styling
• Canvas for drawing

Known bugs

• Sometimes when you shoot a target, the target still shows on the frontend, however it actually registers in the backend
• Delayed "shotgun" sound

What can be improved

• Implement some sort of message ACK to ensure that messages sent from client or server are delivered
• Implement some sort of ping calculation and interpolation so that there's less lag between players
• Front end unit testing (no experience with it on vanilla javascript)
