Have you had enough of fighting monsters and want to play as said creatures, or maybe just want to satisfy some simple desires to play some good old retro arcade fighting games? You've come to the right place! In this interactive web-based browser game, players can choose between different monsters and/or characters to battle against an AI. Choose your moves wisely on the path to victory!
This game is also mobile-friendly, and deployed using Heroku app.
This full-stack MERN project was created as a culmination of the skills and technologies learned in the UT Austin Coding Bootcamp course in Fall 2022. The app is dynamic and interactive on the front end, complete with a database to track user accounts. Technologies used in this project include React, NodeJS, ExpressJS, JWT, GraphQL, MongoDB, Mongoose ODM, and Heroku. Character animations and sprites are included in the credits section.
If you wish to install this on your local machine, you may clone the repo using git clone with the link to the repo.
Install all the dependencies using npm install at the root level.
Run from the root folder using npm run start.
Click here to play!
On entry, the main screen will ask players to login or signup to create an account. Currently, this allows players to track their wins.
Signing up for an account requires a username, email, and password of minimum length 5 characters.
Once logged in, players will be given a selection of different fighters to choose from.
Pick any of them! For the purposes of this initial game draft, we have 4 characters to start with. Clicking any of the buttons will open up the fight screen and display the player-selected character along with an AI opponent.
For this initial demo, players have 2 possible attacks: Fight or Strike. Choose wisely! The player and the AI will take turns attacking each other until one is defeated. The damage done to either the player or the AI will reflect in the health bars at the top of the page.
Once the game ends, players will be given the option to either choose a new character, fight again, or end the game.
Thanks for playing!
