Poetry for Neanderthals

Clone of the popular party game "Poetry for Neanderthals" with support for both single-device and multiplayer modes as well as configurable rule values.

Modes

• Pass-and-Play: Perfect for playing in the same room with a single phone or tablet
• Remote Play: Create a room and invite friends via a 4-letter code. Supports voice chat for players <= 8

How?

• This repo uses Full Mesh voice chat, which means direct P2P connections from each device to another due to cost and network limitations on my end. We use Google's public STUN servers to help establish WebRTC connections using this repo's server as a signaling server.
• Audio processing using the Web Audio API to allow for changing individual user volumes and automatically boosting the current Poet.

You must have Docker installed, OR either Bun or NPM installed.
