Game Time Starter Kit (FE - Module 1)

Basic Game Time starter kit.

Initial Setup

One person from your project will sets up the repository. That one person should follow these steps:

1. Clone this starter kit repository and rename the repository to game-time in one command

git clone git@github.com:turingschool-examples/game-time-starter-kit-FEm1.git game-time

2. Change into the game-time directory

3. Remove the default remote (origin)

git remote rm origin

4. Create a new repository on GitHub named game-time

5. Add your new repository remote to the game time starter kit - your remote URL and user name will be different in the command below

git remote add origin git@github.com:robbiejaeger/game-time.git

6. Install the dependencies of the starter kit

npm install

7. Add, commit, and push up to your repository

git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit using starter kit"
git push origin master

8. Now add your team member(s) as collaborators to the repository. They can now clone down your game-time repository as normal.

9. Once each partner clones down the repo, they need to run npm install to install the dependencies on their machine.

Run the Server

To see your code in action, you need to fire up a development server. Use the command:

npm start

Once the server is running, visit in your browser:

• http://localhost:8080/webpack-dev-server/ to run your application.
• http://localhost:8080/webpack-dev-server/test.html to run your test suite in the browser.

To build the static files:

npm run build

Run Tests in the Terminal

To run all of your tests:

npm test

File Organization

Webpack is somewhat opinionated about how files are organized. Here is a brief guide on how to organize development and test files.

Development Files

Node and webpack work together to help us organize our files and keep responsibilities separated.

Test Files

Near the end of game time, you will have multiple objects for your game that are tested separately with individual test files. The /test/index.js file serves as an "entry point" for mocha to load all of the tests you write.
