Game Your Skills

A fun alternative to competitive programming. Better docs coming soon.

Running

The project uses Golang as the backend language and React in the frontend.

1. Install Golang +1.10.x (assuming git is already installed).
2. Make a default repository for cloning the project. This should be strictly inside the GOPATH. Paste this instruction in your terminal to get started. mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github/ankitjena/.
3. Navigate to the directory via cd $GOPATH/src/github/ankitjena/.
4. Clone the repository via git clone.
5. Navigate into cloned repo cd game-your-skills
6. Install the server dependencies via go get -v -u ./...
7. Navigate inside the client cd client
8. Install the dependencies using yarn
9. Build the client using yarn build
10. Start the client using yarn start. This will run the client in port 3000
11. Run the application from the root of the project using go run main.go. The server runs on port 5000

Note: The application is setup to run the built react files. This will also serve the client in port 5000. But changes will not be visible since its a production build. In development you have to run both the servers separately.
