Hearthstone Card Maker implements a database where you can customize your own cards add an image and it will create a card using a template for you to view. There is also a login and signup to store user data using Bcrypt for password encryption.
Server side is done using Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Postgres and CSS.

Plan to come back to this and really polish up the CSS and use a canvas to fix the card display the second time through. But for now, enjoy!

Game Night is an online scattergories game created in a team of 4 people using Node.js. Using the skills we had learnt so far we implemented a database able to connect players together according to the game names and added custom features to add more categories to your games.

Working on the "Game Night" project above - we decided to use a polling method, making the website automatically refresh to update the status of the players.
I saw the limitations of our choice and so for my next project i wanted to use websockets for almost real time responses from the server.

Websockets wasn't covered in the curriculum but i had a real interest in how it worked so I committed to researching and learning something independently. The main challenge i found doing this project was that in my mockup all of the gameplay updates were done client side manipulating the DOM.
However i had to figure out how to store each clients information, specifically their live position onto the server and then share that information across all clients.
