Birds.js

Multiplayer clone of flappy bird powered by node.js !

How to install

1. Install Node.js

2. Download the project and go into the project directory with your console

3. Install Dependencies by typing npm install in your console

4. [Optional] To play on different PC, you must change the websocket address for your local IP. To do it, update SOCKET_ADDR in the file sharedConstants.js

5. Launch the server with node server.js

6. Open your browser and navigate to http://yourserver:port/birds (by default http://localhost:4242/birds)

7. Play ! 😄

Optional

If you play as it, player scores are stored into an array. If you want to save scores in a persistent way, you can install the birds database on a MySQL server.

1. Install the database by importing birds.sql
2. Update scoreSystem class to add your DB credentials. Open games_files/scoreSystem.js and set your parameters to DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS and DB_DATA
3. Restart server. If the DB is available, the server will print the message [ScoreSystem] Database available and connected !

Node Dependencies

Birds.js uses express, jade, socket.io and mysql modules.

Features

• Multiplayer game !

• Parallax background

• Persistent scores

• Sunset effect if you're good enough 😉

• Easy customization - Simply edit constants to change number of pipes, space between them, bird physic, etc...

• Mass fun !

Notes

birds's Issues

static websocket server ip

Either get the webserver/websocket server via window.location.hostname, or in the server populate the variable with the correct ip
