TrucoJS

Welcome to the TrucoJS project! This is an exciting project aimed at creating a multiplayer card game using technologies like Node.js with Express, Next.js, Dragonfly and Nginx.

Overview

The project aims to develop a multiplayer card game platform where users can register, create game lobbies, invite friends, and play card games together in real-time. The platform will provide a seamless user experience with a modern and responsive interface.

Features

• User Authentication: Allow users to register, log in, and manage their profiles securely.
• Game Lobby: Create and join game lobbies, view available games, and invite friends to play.
• Real-time Gameplay: Implement real-time gameplay using WebSocket technology for smooth and interactive gaming experience.
• Responsive UI: Develop a responsive user interface using Next.js for a seamless experience across different devices and screen sizes.
• Image Upload: Allow users to upload custom avatars or profile pictures.
• Scalability: Design the architecture to be scalable, allowing for a large number of concurrent users and game lobbies.

Technologies Used

• Nginx: High-performance web server and reverse proxy to handle client requests and serve static files.
• Node.js + Express: Backend framework for building RESTful APIs, managing user sessions, and handling game logic.
• Next.js: React framework for server-side rendering, routing, and building modern web applications with React.
• Dragonfly: Simple, performant, and cost-efficient in-memory data store. Dragonfly is fully compatible with Redis APIs but without the Redis management complexity.
