This is a Ruby app using the Rails framework.
This app generates a simple player dashboard inspired by the popular science fiction video game from Blizzard Entertainment, Starcraft. A player creates a profile consisting of an Account Name and Password which grants them access to their dynamic player dashboard.
Once logged in, a player can create heroes with a name and choice of faction (Terran / Protoss / Zerg). A player's heroes will populate their dashboard upon creation and can be viewed for a description of their faction. A player can also create planets for faction colonization and control.
Lastly, a friend search allows players to search for other player names in the applications database. This allows you to see other players heroes from an uneditable view of their dashboard.
Make sure you have Ruby and Bundler installed.
git clone [email protected]:darrendc/Starcraft.git # or clone your own fork
cd Starcraft
Run bundler to install gems, migrate the database and seed data:
bundle install
rake db:migrate
rake db:seed
Start a rails server from the applications's root directory:
rails server
You will run the application on your web browser at localhost:3000.
