Acquiring a new language can be a challenging endeavour that often leads to individuals quitting part-way through the process of learning one. To make language-learning less daunting, this work aims to develop a fun and engaging story-writing web-game, WriteIt, a web application powered by React and NodeJS, supports players in learning English.

In the game, users piece together stories both collectively and incrementally; that is, each user contributes one sentence at a time, building from where a story had been previously left off by other users. In addition, users are given a specific word that they must incorporate in each sentence that they contribute. In this way, as a by-product of playing the game, users are able to foster better writing skills, build their vocabulary, and ultimately hone their mastery of English.

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

What things you need to install the software and how to install them

ReactJS, Boostrap, NodeJS

Attention: when install Node.js, let it automatically build all dependencies, this option is supported in version 10 and above.

Clone this repo to your desktop and get into the folder of writeIt, then run npm install to install all the dependencies.

You might want to look into config.json to make change the port you want to use and set up a SSL certificate.

After you clone this repo to your desktop, go to its root directory and run npm install to install its dependencies.

Once the dependencies are installed, you can run npm start to start the application. You will then be able to access it at localhost:3000

if fail in windowsx64 system, try npm rebuild node-sass to rebuild the node-sass.
