Key Features

  • Real-time multiplayer gameplay with round-based question-answer mechanics.
  • Dual-interface design: streamlined player view and comprehensive admin dashboard.
  • Session management with voting system, point tracking, and game history exports.
  • Automated installation scripts for Windows (PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (Bash).
  • RESTful API with health checks, CORS configuration, and proper error handling.

Technical Architecture

The backend runs on Express.js with JSON file-based persistence for session data and round status. The Vue 3 frontend leverages TypeScript, Pinia state management, and modern Sass modules for styling. Component organization follows domain-driven principles, separating player, admin, and shared UI elements.

API Highlights

The server exposes comprehensive endpoints for session management, round status tracking, and player operations including joining, answering, voting, and point updates. All routes return consistent JSON responses with proper HTTP status codes.

Outcome

The application has been deployed and tested across different environments. The installer scripts detect IP addresses automatically and configure both server and client for immediate use. The architecture scales comfortably for local network gameplay and supports export functionality for game analytics.
