Everyone gets the same puzzles each day, and I play them first, so my real time is the one to beat.</p> <p>A few things I enjoyed building:</p> <p>Times you can't fake. The puzzles are public, so the server doesn't trust the browser. You get a signed token when you start; when you finish, the server replays your moves with the same game logic and measures the time itself.<br> No-guess boards. Minesweeper and Sudoku boards are only kept if a solver can finish them by logic alone.<br> A 7 KB starfield. The background was 241 KB of three.js; it's now a few KB of hand-written WebGL2.<br> No cookies, and every game works with the keyboard.</p> <p>Today's puzzles: <a href="https://aedit.me/arcade" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://aedit.me/arcade</a><br> How it's built: <a href="https://aedit.me/projects/aedit-me" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://aedit.me/projects/aedit-me</a></p> <p>I'd love feedback, and your times! 😄</p> webdev showdev javascript nextjs Udit Sen Thu, 21 May 2020 08:45:56 +0000 https://dev.to/aedit/hover-games-3hi https://dev.to/aedit/hover-games-3hi <h2> My Final Project </h2> <p>HOVER GAMES</p> <h2> Demo Link </h2> <p>It can be found on <a href="https://hover.now.sh">https://hover.now.sh</a></p> <h2> Link to Code </h2> <div class="ltag-github-readme-tag"> <div class="readme-overview"> <h2> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--A9-wwsHG--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev.to/assets/github-logo-5a155e1f9a670af7944dd5e12375bc76ed542ea80224905ecaf878b9157cdefc.svg" alt="GitHub logo"> <a href="https://github.com/aedit"> aedit </a> / <a href="https://github.com/aedit/Hovergames"> Hovergames </a> </h2> <h3> </h3> </div> <div class="ltag-github-body"> <div id="readme" class="md"><p>#Hover games</p> <blockquote> <p>Human Computer Interaction</p> </blockquote> </div> </div> <br> <div class="gh-btn-container"><a class="gh-btn" href="https://github.com/aedit/Hovergames">View on GitHub</a></div> <br> </div> <br> <h2> How I built it (what's the stack? did I run into issues or discover something new along the way?) </h2> <p>I and a friend of mine, <a class="mentioned-user" href="https://dev.to/vbhv98">@vbhv98</a>, built it for our Minor Project Submission in the college. The Tech Stack we used for this project is React for the front-end, Python and Flask for the backend, MongoDB for the database management, HTML, CSS and Javascript in the front-end. The frontend is hosted over Vercel and the backend is hosted over Heroku. Both are hosted under free plans.<br> We faced many issues while developing this project as we both were new to the framework and we're learning its essentials.</p> <h2> Additional Thoughts / Feelings / Stories </h2> <p>Building the project collaboratively has been a good experience. We started building this project as a substitute for upcoming gaming technologies. Hover Games provide users with an interactive platform where they can play indie games with their hand gestures.</p> octograd2020 react python machinelearning
