Tic-Tac-to-the-Toe

This is a a classic game of Tic-Tac-Toe with a unique twist – it's designed to be inclusive and accessible to screen reader users!

Steps to Run the Game

Alternative One: npm

1. Clone this repository.

2. Go to your terminal and change the current directory to the one your clone is in. cd /path/to/cloned/directory

3. Run npm i

4. Create a .env file and add the following: VITE_BASE_API=http://localhost:3001. The port number (i.e. 3000) can be changed accordingly if needed.

5. Run npm run dev to load your game UI.

6. Follow the steps in the backend server repository to start your own backend server.

   Note that the port in VITE_BASE_API (if using localhost) and HOST_PORT should be the same number for the game to run.

7. To play in multiplayer, simply change the VITE_BASE_API (in step 5) to any URI that is hosting the backend server in the same network. Play together with your friends in the same network through this npm alternative!

8. Enjoy!

Alternative Two: Netlify

1. Go to Tic-Tac-to-the-Toe to run the game UI.
2. Follow the steps in the backend server repository to start your own backend server.

   Since this is a pre-release, Netlify-hosted version, the backend API is fixed as localhost:3001. This means that the HOST_PORT value must be 3001.

3. Now create another tab or use another browser to open Tic-Tac-to-the-Toe. Now you have two instances of the game! You can create as many tabs or browsers and repeat as you like. Limit: you can only play with yourself since this is a pre-release, Netlify-hosted site.
4. Enjoy! (Maybe some solo Tic-Tac-Toe will help heal your soul).
