Welcome to "Battle Royale: Rock-Paper-Scissors", a real-time web application built with Node.js and Socket.IO! This application is a school assignment project that aims to provide a unique gaming experience that combines the classic game of Rock Paper Scissors with the thrilling concept of The Hunger Games.
Players can create or join rooms where they can chat with each other in real-time. The Game Master, the initial user who created the room, has the power to start a game session by selecting up to 5 players from the chat room. During some rounds, players will receive mystery power-ups such as a gun, shield, reverse card, revival card, and more to keep things interesting.
The winner of the first game becomes the next Game Master, and the first player to reach 3 wins becomes the ultimate winner, or Apex Predator. With an intuitive user interface and seamless real-time communication, this game provides a fun and exciting experience for players of all ages.
So, gather your friends, join a room, and get ready to compete in a game of strategy, luck, and survival. May the odds be ever in your favor!
