Running the Client

When the install is complete, run npm start.

Running the server

Head over to tactics-server and clone it into a directory, and from its directory run node index.js.

Playing the game

Now you should be able to navigate to localhost:3000 in a (chrome) browser and see a simple text input form. You need to enter something here to become "Player 1"

Now we just need a "Player 2 so open up a new incognito browser tab, and navigate to locoalhost:3000 again. You should see the same text input.

Once you enter the secone name, the game should load.

It's very rudimentary right now, but you'll see a game board. You can create a unit and then select the unit and move it around the board.
