BBH Lübeck Check

This is quiz, built with students of the GGS St. Jürgen school and the Buddenbrookhaus museum in Lübeck, Germany, for the exhibition "Herzensheimat".

Development

The project is basically a website built using F#, Fable, Elmish and React. Don't ask why, at least I didn't put Electron on that list as well.

Requirements

• dotnet SDK 2.0 or higher
• node.js 6.11 or higher
• yarn JS package manager
• mono on macOS/Linux to run paket

Build + Run

In the commands below, yarn is the tool of choice. If you want to use npm, just replace yarn by npm in the commands.

• run yarn (installs dependencies)
• run yarn start (starts Fable daemon and Webpack dev server)
• In your browser, open: http://localhost:8080/ . Any modification you do to the F# code will be reflected in the web page after saving.

For production:

• run yarn build and you'll get your frontend files ready for deployment in the build directory.

Kiosk mode on Windows 10 Home

Since Microsoft only offers a real kiosk mode on Windows >= Professional we had to go a little different way. Killing explorer.exe to disable buttons and gestures and using Chrome's kiosk mode does the job quite well. Our autostart file is start.bat.
