Show HN: I Built a Rock, Paper, Scissors roguelike in React

#1

Post by xtremerps »

Hey HN! What started off as a meme has turned into a passion project and I'm pretty excited about it. As the title suggests, I made a Rock, Paper, Scissors game in React. The twist is the perk shop that you can power yourself up upon wins.

I have a Node web socket backend because it started off as just a PvP experience, but I wanted people to be able to play a solo mode. That's where the Roguelike comes in. I still have plenty of features to go! But for now, it's an endless Roguelike where after each round, you get to upgrade a shop perk to make your character stronger.

I'd love to get some feedback! Feel free to try it out and ask any questions! No login or account needed.

And if you wanna see a quirky short of me putting it together: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8-ijQkKm3Ds

You should look into smoothing out the UX with toast or other notifications so users know whether they are waiting or not. For instance, "Daily Challenge" seemingly does nothing. Single player "Survival" is seemingly stuck waiting for another player.

It seems interesting but unfortunately I am entirely confused on how to use it. Buttons don't work, the tutorial references highlighting that isn't happening, other buttons seem to require multiple presses to work (such as selecting rock, paper, or scissor).

The confusion is completely understandable! As it looks like there was a merge mixup in git. It'll be back up and running soon, and I appreciate the input!

Seems to be broken? I'm not able to play or even complete the tutorial. Just constantly says `Waiting for other player...` and nothing on the page is interactable.

You are correct As it appears there was a merge mixup in git. It'll be back up and running soon!
