Setup Instructions

Prerequisites

1. Node.js and NPM
   • We recommend installing using nvm for Linux/Mac and nvm-windows for Windows
2. Create a project in the Google Cloud console.
3. Install the gcloud command line utility.

How to deploy

The game is implemented in Node.js.

On your local machine, in the directory you downloaded the project source code, run npm install.

Edit the .env and app-production.yaml files to use your own project ID.

To deploy the app to App Engine, use the gcloud command line utility:

gcloud config set project YOUR_PROJECT_ID

gcloud app deploy app-production.yaml

Now the app is hosted on a URL like: https://YOUR_PROJECT_ID.appspot.com
