Adding games

In this document you'll read about how to add a game to the system.

Adding the game to the admin panel

Adding the game to the admin panel is quite easy and consists of two steps:

• Adding a picture
• Adding the game data

Adding a picture

Take a screenshot of your game and add this image to

/adminpanel/src/front-end/public/games

Add your image as a .jpg

Adding the game data

To add the game data, go to the following file:

/adminpanel/src/server/db/seeders/gameSeeder.js

In here you'll see an variable named games which holds a array of objects. You can add a new object with the following variables:

Variable	Description	Type	Example
name	The name of your game	String	"test_game"
joinMidGame	Are players allowed to join mid game	Boolean	true / false
responseAnswer	What does the websocket server send back after a users input hold to let the user wait and again if the button can be repeatidly pressed	String	"wait" / "again"
image	The name of the image of the game	String	"default.jpg"

Adding the game to the game runner

Add your game in a folder in the /games folder in the game runner i.e. /games/test_game/. Make sure your game's folder correlates to the game's name, or it won't start!

You can test if your game is working by typing the following in the console:

loadGame('test_game')
