Priests Vs Thieves

This is a personal project of mine… A continuation of my lab from Purdue’s CS252 Systems Programming course.

The original lab repository:

https://github.com/aberendsen18/cs252-lab06

Project Name:

-Priests vs Thiefs

Project:

-Game with online lobby system, players enter the lobby in groups of 4 or more
-The game starts with each person (user) starting with 100 points
-Each round, the players are given the choice to either "help" or "steal"
    -If all players "help" then the collective whole is awarded 10 points
    -If a single player picks "steal" then they get 30 points
    -If more than 2 players pick "steal" in the same round then they each get deducted 20 points
-After 10 rounds each players final point value revealed is revealed to all users in the lobby
-The user with the most points win
-In the case of a tie, everyone loses (this is still to be determined)

Tools Used:

-NodeJS (incl. modules such as express, jade)
-MongoDB
-HTML5 w/ Bootstrap
-CSS
-Pingendo 4.0
