This is a website mainly built with Django and Javascript, and it utilizes a PostgreSQL database through the Django ORM. The UI/frontend is very simplistic, but the backend is quite beefy. We're using websockets to facilitate the multiplayer functionality
how stuff works:
- You can choose to either play a single match or in a tournament
- Two players can play on the same computer
- The backend treats a another player from another computer the same as a another player from the same computer
- In non-tournaments you can also choose to play against an AI
- The tournament is a simple single-elimination tournament, the players are randomly matched against each other and the winner of each match continues
- In the tournament you die from one ball passed, but in a single match you get three lives
- Clone the repository using
git clone https://github.com/flowerbuddies/transcendence.git cd transcendence- Copy the
.env.exampleinto.env - Fill the
.env-file values as necessary - Run
docker compose up --build -d - Navigate to https://localhost:8443 and enjoy! (Note: There is a warning generated due to a self-signed certificate)
- To shut it down, run
docker compose downin the project folder
- Get the list of lobbies:
curl -k 'https://<domain_name>:8443' -H 'Accept: application/json' - Get information about a lobby using its name:

(note: replace domain_name and name_of_the_lobby if that wasn't clear)
