Elimination Game

It's this thing where people participate in a game, then they are assigned another player in the game as a target. They'll have to locate this person and ask for their code to eliminate them for a new target.

Inspired by theassassingame.com which apparently is down

Development

Uses Rollup, Elm, and Node

The following watches for file changes and builds automatically:

npm run watch

Build for production:

npm run build

Things to add

  • Errors persist when leaving and returning to a page
  • Display list of upcoming and finished games
  • broadcast to players of game (option to limit to alive ppl)
  • (requires thinking) Finish content for about, welcome, and maybe terms pages (and meta desc tags?)
  • (maybe tedious) Parse for @mentions, !games, and external links. Could also add support for bold, italics, etc.
    • Current idea: use elm/parser to convert plain text -> List (Html msg) (the hard part). Needs a server endpoint for converting game IDs into names, then this will have to be updated again. Perhaps to avoid reparsing, it could return a different type that gets converted to Html msg
  • (probably very hard/complicated) Emails:
    • Password reset forms
    • Option for email notifications

I don't think this should be a PWA since it requires an internet connection anyways. There shouldn't be a way to publicly list a game because the game requires real life interaction for eliminating people.

Feedback

  • How to find active games?

    • Public list of games is bad

  • It is not intuitive to find what games you're in. The wording of "active games" on the front page is unclear or not obvious enough.

    • Can list games that haven't started yet (and/or the ones you've created) on front page too.

  • It is not intuitive how to eliminate someone.

    • The about page may make this clear, but I think it should be intuitive on the front page too. For example, the kill modal can explain how/where to get the elimination sequence from.

  • It is inconvenient/unintuitive to go to the profile.

    • The current system makes it easier to sign out, but I guess not many people need to sign out that often.

    • Trigonal recommends making it link to profile instead of settings

  • Serif font

  • Should be able to mark oneself as killed for honesty and speed
