This game is based on an archaic flash game. I don't know the name of the original, because we used to play it during IT classes in high school and my memory is pretty bad. All I know was that it ran in Flash and was pretty buggy. It supported local multi-player only, but me and my friends enjoyed it, because it was the only thing running at a decent framerate on our school workstations.

$ yarn install
$ yarn run dev # Runs development server
$ yarn run build # Builds everything into ./dist
$ NODE_ENV=production ./dist/server.js # Runs production level server 

Docker is cool I guess, so I included a Dockerfile.

The image is quite huge, but the layering should be fine.

For those versed in docker, ignore the next lines, because I am not that great in docker and I forget.

$ docker build -t mad-cowz .
$ docker run -p 49160:8080 -d mad-cowz

All files under ./src/client are hot-reloaded in browser. Compilation of server scripts will also not load anything from ./src/client.

All other files in ./src/ cause the dev server to restart and recompile.
