Pong Multiplayer

Pong with multiplayer, using Node.js and socket.io. Only two players, and unlimited spectators.

What did I use

• Node.js
• Express
• Socket.io

How to get this thing working?

1. Download my project as a ZIP here: https://github.com/RamsesF/Pong/archive/master.zip.
2. UnZIP my project and paste it where you can access it easily.
3. Make sure you have npm & node.js installed. https://nodejs.org/en/. Downloading node.js will have npm automatically installed. I personally used v4.4.0. Maybe I should update.
4. Open up your console/CMD and navigate to the project. You need to be in the Pong folder. (cd is your friend)
5. When you have npm installed, use "npm install" to install all my used packages.
6. When the packages are installed, use "node server.js" to get the server up and running!
7. Navigate to the HOST-IP ADDRESS via your favorite browser. You can look this up by typing "ipconfig" on the machine that is hosting the server. The server runs on port 8080. (hint: type :8080 after your host-ip adress in your browser).
8. Have fun!

TO DO

• Maybe update some CSS, or something.
