Game won't run

[Quillwerth]

Tried node app.js and npm start. Did both the install commands. Is the program currently not operational?

Here's the npm-debug file:

Using node.js version 0.6.14 on Windows. No issue on my end. Update to 0.6.14, then check your issues.

Have you gotten it working on your machine before?

fualkner: Please check your node.js build (we use 0.6.14) and make sure you have all dependencies installed, the package.js file is currently out of date and will be updated when I push the new server core sometime this weekend.

Current Dependencies:

• express + connect
• redis
• socket.io
• b64url
• facebook-signed-request

Just downloaded the Node.js installer (.msi) and completed that; now could you instruct me on which commands to use? I'm quite new at JS. Thanks, guys.

"npm start" is an alias for "node app.js" basically, so just type "node app.js"
If it works, connect to localhost port 3000 on your browser and you should see the page.

If you get an issue, run "node -v" and report your version.

I have v0.6.14. I didn't uninstall the previous version; would that be a stumbling block? Game still isn't loading, previous versions did work on my machine.

Thanks for the help, gents.

Try pulling in the latest changes to the repo and let me know the results!

I got several "RedisError: Redis connection to 127.0.0.1:6379 failed - connect ECONNREFUSED". localhost:3000 hangs and eventually (sometimes) leads to "Loading Cemetery Mania..." and then a message telling me to go to Facebook. I have a tab open with Facebook, does it mean something else?

[mgoeppner]

You need to be running an instance of redis in order for the server to run. Also, the game is tightly integrated with facebook but localhost:3000/game will load a semi-disconnected client. You should change the websocket urls in public/game/index.html to point to localhost as well.
