This project is based on the classic card game War and simulates a full game between two players.

This project was created with:

• PostgreSQL
• Express.js
• React.js
• Node.js

This project was also deployed on Heroku and can be viewed here: https://simulate-game-of-war.herokuapp.com/

After cloning the repository and cd war take the following steps:

• Create a local Postgres database called war

$ createdb war

• Install dependencies

$ npm install

• Seed the database

$ npm run seed

• Start the server and build bundle.js

$ npm start-dev

• Go to localhost:3000

Well, you can't really play. But you can simulate two other people playing just by clicking the button!

Each time a simulation is run, the leaderboard will update the winner's total wins.

There are two API endpoints:

• GET /api/war/ will start a game between 2 random players from the database and return a completed game object.

The game object will contain:
- Both player objects which will include name and remaining cards.
- moves: an array of every turn which include each card played and the round number.
- winner: name of winner.
- loser: name of loser
- round: number of total rounds played.

• GET /api/players will return the lifetime wins for each player stored in the database.

Tests can be ran with npm test

• Ability to add or delete players in the database
• Implement card pagination within UI
• More stylized UI
• Simulate games with more than 2 players
