Inspiration

When we saw that the prompt for the hackathon was to create something "realtime", the first thing that came to our mind was a game. But we wanted to make something different. Something which allowed you to get a good laugh and enjoy with your friends without the competitiveness of FPS games. Thus was born datburnt a multiplayer game to play with friends and family.

What it does

datburnt is a classic roast battle game. The game gives you an image and you have to roast the personality in that image. Then you vote on the roast you think is the best. Simple. Each vote to your roast gets you 50 points. The player with the maximum points at the end wins.

Features

Ability to create Private or Public game rooms
Browse through public rooms and join one, or let the game decide which one to join for you
6 categories of roast prompts to choose from
8 maximum players and 3 minimum players per game
30s timer for roasting as well as for voting
The creator of the game room controls how the game moves on

How to Play

1) Head over to the website and create a new account if you don't already have one 2) Create a new game room or join a public room 3) Wait for the game to start 4) When prompted, type in a roast for the personality in the prompt image 5) After that vote for the roast you think would have hurt the most 6) After 5 rounds you get to know who the barbeque is :)

How we built it

Our website is built using Next.js and the server is built using Express.js. For real time connectivity we've used Socket.IO as well as Channels by Hop. Finally the both the server and frontend are deployed on Hop
