Realizing the limitations of PHP, and the advantages of moving to an React-Express framework (not to mention just moving to JavaScript entirely), I have opened this repository with the intentions on porting my political game. Anybody is allowed to commit, as long as they follow what CONTRIBUTING.md reads.
For a brief description of what Authority is (or, truthfully, I hope it to be):
Authority is an indev. political game in which users can register as a politician, run for offices, run countries, play a vital part in the economic system within their countries (and others), and seize power through a variety of methods; legal, or illegal.
- Clone the repository. Make a fork if you plan to contribute.
- Install Node.js, and make sure to add it to your PATH if operating on Windows.
- CD into the repository you cloned in Step 1.
- Run
npm installin terminal/command prompt - Wait for packages and dependencies to install.
- Look at env_example and make a copy of it.
- Rename it .env, replace any necessary values. Most importantly, set up your SQL connection. Did I mention this is using SQL yet? No? Oops. Stay mad, Mongoists!
- Set up SQL via scripts under
sql/. It doesn't matter the order, but execute sql_schema.sql first. - After setting up your .env file and SQL database, run
npm startfor production, andnpm run devfor development. - There you go! Should work, and you should be all ready to develop (and commit plz I'm lonely)
- If you want working image upload, you will have to create a Google Cloud Storage bucket and upload a service account config as gcloudkey.json. (https://medium.com/@olamilekan001/image-upload-with-google-cloud-storage-and-node-js-a1cf9baa1876)
