So the winner of the race should receive a Hacktoberfest badge.

At the moment I wouldn't worry about the back-end of this (actually storing the badge).

I'd like it to be obvious that when a player wins a game, they get the reward.

• Badge pops up
• Adds to their badge count (This doesn't exist)

Any ideas on this would be great!

Hi
I would like to work on this if no one else has claimed it.

1. A game ends it restarts the game
2. A countdown appears
3. Players shouldn't be able to type until the countdown has stopped (But they can)

After a game the characters CPS should reset, and they shouldn't be able to spam characters which will effect their CPS before the game has actually started

Once we have persistence it'd be nice to have Github OAuth to register to the game!

For some reason, the relative path for the public directory does not work on my machine. I'll put in a PR to use an absolute path for express.static(). This should work on everyone's machine.

Fun project!

I know that in most type racer games you'd have words per minute but for this, I don't think it'll be all that suitable.

I'd like some ideas on this, I've only really got one:

• Characters per minute/per second

This should display on the screen in real-time as the player types!

• Add a lovely JavaScript linter

It'd be good if we introduced a test suite, the server/ code should be a good place to start with this:

• Jest is a good option!

If there are X amount of people, let's say 15 people we're going to want to split them into separate games, as a base-line we could say 6 people per race.

Description

If a player leaves the game (e.g. closes window) the rest of the players stop seeing said player icon but the space where (s)he was is still there

At the moment the server sends to the clients just one sentence:

this.sentence = "int main(){printf (\"Hi World\\n\");return 0;}";

On the server, there should be a tonne of codey one-liners that get chosen at random — the chosen one is then sent to all the clients as current behaviour.

When resizing browser window the app doesn't display correctly.

At the moment, the terminal is just your standard windows copy.

Design a sexy terminal, or maybe even an editor — Here's an example:

Note if we were to do an editor, it'd be good if we could navigate through it as though it is an editor — that's definitely out of scope for this.

When typing it would be nice to have either underneath the letter you're currently on or to the left of it to have a blinking cursor just so it's easy to track where you currently are.

We can go a number of different ways with this one.

I just think it would be awesome if we had something that gave you a brief view of how you were doing — a history of the previous games and potentially the characters per second you were doing,

Just a thought, I'd love to hear your ideas!

We need a count down to determine when a game starts, things to consider:

• Preventing user from inputting until commencing
• Cool looking count down on the screen
• Resetting when a new game starts

We're going to need some way to persist player information so we can store basic data like the number of Hacktoberfest badges they have earned (The number of races won).

So I've stubbed out some code for this in the UI Player.js

drawGithubImage() { imageMode(CENTER); image(this.img, this.x, this.y, 30, 30); }
We're going to auth via github, but at the moment I've just got random images in there:

I want these images to be circles and potentially fill the player circle leaving just the edging.

So all you need to do in this is do some funky stuff with p5js to not render some pixels to make it a circle!

With the recent changes making the terminal look sexy:

The background colour doesn't really go — I'm looking for ideas for what we can do for the background, here's some thoughts I have:

• Add a background similar to that of a linux distro just so it goes with the terminal
• Have some kind of paralax, this would require the screen to translate along with the player, which I think might be a good idea

Let me know if you have any other ideas, I'd love to him them.

At the moment there is no concept of a game — there's a winner and there's other players. When a player wins there needs to be either one of the following:

1. The game just resets
2. The ability for the player to search for a new game — this will require multiple games happening at once

It might be a good idea to do option 1. first and then move onto option 2. later.

I think it'd be cool if we had typescript, particularly for the backend!

Description

When multiple racers race in a single game, the icon of racers who joined last gets drawn on top of the terminal.

Possible Solution

We can fix this by showing the racer's own car on top of the screen. So on every screen, the order of cars will be different. But the racer's car will be at the top.
Now when more number of players join the game, we can simply decrease the size of their race icons, to accommodate more players.
We can also set a restricting number which restricts more than a certain number of people joining a single game.

Comment any ideas for what we should name the game — Hacktober Racer doesn't have the best ring to it!
