This project was, for me, an introduction to Elixir and Phoenix. I wanted to try Phoenix Channels, the high performance of Elixir and the concurrent aspect of Erlang. What's better than an online Pong game to give it a shot ?
You can try it here : https://phoenix-socket-pong.herokuapp.com/, have fun !
To start Socket Pong:
- Install dependencies with
mix deps.get - Create and migrate your database with
mix ecto.setup - Install Node.js dependencies with
cd assets && npm install - Start Phoenix endpoint with
mix phx.server - Then, visit
localhost:4000from your browser.
The rules:
- Every visitor on the page is able to move either player 1 or player 2.
- Every time a ball the right edge, the player 1 scores.
- Every time a ball the left edge, the player 2 scores.
- When you click "NEW GAME", the scores are reset and a new game starts.
The commands:
W/Sto make the player 1 go Up and Down.↑/↓to make the player 2 go Up and Down.
