GuessTheLocation

Our Website

"Guess My Location" is a web-based interactive online game that allows users to upload pictures of various locations.

Once you create an account, you are able to post pictures and participate in the guessing process.

You will be able to share your post through our embedded Google Maps.

In addition, you can easily track and delete your posts if needed through the "My Posts" page.

You can also view other people's posts and participate in guessing their location through an interactive Google Maps.

A leaderboard is also available for ranking among players.

Local Development

1. Clone this repository
2. cd GuessTheLocation
3. cd server && npm i to install dependencies for the server directory
   1. Note: npx db-migrate up --config database/database.json to set up database ---- ps is this still the necessary step as it gives me error msg and I finished setup without using it
4. npm run dev. You should get message Server listening on 3001
5. Open a new terminal and run cd GuessTheLocation/client
6. Run npm i to install dependencies for the client directory
7. npm start
8. Navigate to localhost:3000, you should see "Hello from server!" message displayed
   1. Note: you should also see the message when navigating to localhost:3001/api

Making Changes

1. Always create a new branch
2. Start both the client and server (see instructions above)
3. Simply save your changes and see them displayed on localhost:3000
