Welcome to Code Legends, a Ruby on Rails application where users can challenge each other in coding duels. Each match generates a random challenge from a pool of existing challenges in the database, allowing users to test their coding skills in real-time. Additionally, users can connect, send friend requests, and challenge their friends to duels!
- Random Coding Duels: Face off against other users in real-time coding duels where a random challenge is picked from the database.
- Friend System: Send and accept friend requests to create a network of coding buddies.
- Challenge Friends: Once friends, you can directly challenge your friends to a coding duel.
- Real-Time Interaction: Stay engaged with live duels and notifications for friend requests or challenges.
- Leaderboard: Compete with others to top the leaderboard by winning duels.
