PokeBattle is a re-incarneted 'Tekken' battle game based on the October coding Cohort at Makers Academy. PokeBattle was done with React as the front end, Rails as the back end, and the duration of this project was for a week. The project is called "Transgressions" based on a rule at Makers Academy.
As this is the front-end of the project, it requires the api data from the other project linked here: https://github.com/LewisYoul/pokebattle Once you have this downloaded and running (instructions are on the linked repo, follow the steps below!)
- Clone repo into project
git clone https://github.com/tabrza/pokebattle-react.git
- cd into the project
cd/pokebattle-react
- Launch NPM: npm install
npm install
- Start the Server! Make sure you have started the api server (instructions on the linked repo above)
npm start
~Enjoy!
Inspired by a Tekken Game and our cohort members at Makers Academy, we initially drew out an MVP to setup the basics of what made our game unique. From there, whilst working in pairs, we expanded into the other User stories we achieved (that is listed down below).
Here, we always had retros to write down the list of things to do for tomorrow and cherish the stuff that we did today. This is how the team stayed focused.
Front-End: React (Gems)
- React-Sound
- React-Toggle-Display
Back-End: Ruby On Rails
- Responders
| Successes | Challenges |
|---|---|
| Accomplished MVP | Testing (Figuring out Jest) |
| Delegated teamwork | Learning React in a short period of time |
| Had a good time | Having an explorative approach |
It was vital for us to create an MVP as we had to pinpoint what made our game unique. This was our starting point/goal for building the project.
