Report Bug · Request Feature

My friends and I loved playing jackbox, however we found ourselves contemplating new game types that could be added, and were met with a lack of resources to easily and quickly implement them, enter BoltBox.

BoltBox is complex under the hood but makes implementing games easy and quick:

• New games can be remotely installed using NPM
• All games can have extensions installed adding new content to the (extra lines or promts for example)
• Keep game devolpement simple and fun while being extendable and modular

This project is still heavily under devolpement and has a long way to go so help and patience is highly appreciated!

The installiation process for BoltBox should be as painless as possile and will hopefully get even easier in the future. To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps.

This is an example of how to list things you need to use the software and how to install them.

• npm

  npm install npm@latest -g

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/BurntIce16/BoltBox.git

2. Install NPM packages

   npm install

3. Launch the BoltBox server

   npm start;

4. Connect the "host" machine to the server at port 3001 and follow the onscreen instructions
5. Destroy your friendships 😈
