The user provides games they enjoy as an input and the server generates a list of recommended games using a content based filtering algorithm.\n\n## Introduction\n\nThis tool is a project developed primarily to practice my skill in Rust. Users can input games they enjoy and the recommender will generate a list of recommendations based on the input games.\n\n### Technologies\n\nThis tool is built using the following technologies:\n\n- Backend (Rust):\n  - [Rocket](https://rocket.rs/) - Used to create RESTful API which facilitates communication between the frontend and backend.\n  - [Nalgebra](https://nalgebra.org/) - Used in my implementation of the [content based filtering algorithm](https://developers.google.com/machine-learning/recommendation/content-based/basics).\n- Frontend (React)\n- External Services:\n  - [IGDB](https://www.igdb.com/) - Used to source relevant game information\n\n### Installation\n\nThe recommender is not currently hosted anywhere and since it was just for practice I didn't intend for anyone to use it. However, if you'd like to play with it below are some simple steps on how you could go about that.\n\n1. Clone the repository\n\n```shell\ngit clone https://github.com/Pyxus/game-recommender.git\ncd game-recommender\n```\n\n2. Setup the server:\n   - Install Rust and Cargo. Refer to the [Rust Installation Guide](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install).\n   - Obtain an API key from [IGDB](https://www.igdb.com/api)\n   - Create a `.env` file in the `server` directory.\n   ```makefile\n   TWITCH_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_ID_HERE\n   TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_SECRET_HERE\n   ```\n   - Build and run the server\n   ```shell\n   cd server\n   cargo run\n   ```\n3. Setup the frontend:\n   - Install NodeJs. Refer to [Node.js Downloads](https://nodejs.org/en/download)\n   - Install dependencies:\n   ```shell\n   cd client\n   npm install\n   ```\n   - Start frontend\n   ```shell\n   npm run dev\n   ```\n   - The project should now be live on your localhost.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpyxus%2Fgame-recommender","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fpyxus%2Fgame-recommender","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpyxus%2Fgame-recommender/lists"}
