Project Development

This project was created as part of a collaborative Software Development Bootcamp, where our team followed an agile workflow. We used Slack, Zoom, Discord, and Google Docs to ensure effective communication.

Collaboration Workflow

  • 🏗 Daily Stand-Ups – Every morning, we held a stand-up session via video call to update each other on progress.
  • 🎯 Round-Down Sessions – Each afternoon, we had a review meeting to summarize the day's work.
  • 🔀 GitHub Branching Strategy – Each team member cloned the same repository, worked on feature branches, and merged changes through pull requests.

Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

The MVP we devised is an online multiplayer spirit battle game. Players create a room or join an existing room, select a spirit, and battle using a real-time combat system.

Deployment

The game was hosted on Render, making it accessible online. If you'd like to run the project locally using Vite, follow the commands in the How to Run Locally section.
