Scoreboard

Scoreboard is a simple, secure and easy to use Scoreboard application built on Node.js and Socket.io.

Scoreboard uses Socket.io's real time bidirectional event based communication system to integrate the scoreboard to the mobile-ready remote in real time.

Usage

Clone the repository from GitHub by running the following in the terminal.

$ git clone https://github.com/rukmal/Scoreboard.git

All of the Scoreboard configuration is stored in the config.json file. It must have the following data:

{
	"_comment": "All times must be in milliseconds",
	"tournament_logo": "",
	"team_home": "",
	"team_away": "",
	"password": "",
	"half_length": 0,
	"timeout_length": 0,
	"halftime_length": "",
	"shot_clock_length": 0
}

Note: all fields filled with a '0' must be numbers. Also note that the configuration file is loaded when the application starts, so if any changes are made, the app must be restarted.

Next, install all dependencies using npm (the Node.js package manager) and run the application.

$ cd Scoreboard
$ npm install
$ node app.js

Navigate to localhost:3000 in your browser and enjoy!
