##Description 'The Game' is a 2D Multiplayer Side-scrolling Shooting game built using MongoDB, NodeJS, ExpressJS, Socket.IO, and Phaser. Other tech included Jade, HTML, Grunt, and Yeoman.

Built with a team of 5 over a 6 day period, our goal for this project was to discover making a shooting game that allows multiple players to play together. Our team implemented agile development methodologies with Object-Orientation to help with the translation of data being passed to the sockets and attempted to use MVC design structure.

##Technologies Used

• Frontend: Phaser, HTML, CSS, Socket.IO
• Backend: MongoDB, NodeJS, ExpressJS

##User Stories

• A user can login with oAuth via Facebook or Google.
• A user can enter a game.

• A users character can respawn on death.
• A users character can collide with the ground and platforms.
• A users character can grab onto the bottom and sides of platforms.

##Challenges we Faced

• Lag issues between clients.
• Object collision between clients.
• Interaction between client and server.

##Next Steps

• Score system
• Improve lag issues
• Add more weapons for players to interact with
• Add health bar for players
• Add leveling system
• Add win/loss system
• Add character name
• Add character kills/deaths score
