# pong
> Pong reinvented using Rails and Vue.js
This purpose of this app was to demonstrate the use of a progressive JavaScript framework [Vue.js](https://vuejs.org) and Rails ActionCable to build a two player pong game that can be played over the web.
## Demo
Just over 500 games have been played on the demo. I decided to request a $1 donation at the end of the game. If you found this helpful in any way, support the project by playing a game for $1.00 and invite your friends:

## The Basic Architecture when Playing a Game
There also exists a GamesChannel which broadcasts every time a point is scored or a game changes state.
## Latency issue
There exists a latency issue where a paddle's position may be behind to it's true position at a point in time. This may also exist with the ball's position as seen by the client. I'm sure this is a common issue among multiplayer games, but have no experience in that department so am open to suggestions.
## Rails Dev Setup
```bash
# run the migration
rake db:migrate
# dev server
rails server
```
## Webpack Dev Setup
``` bash
# install dependencies
npm install
# serve with hot reload at localhost:8080
npm run dev
```
## Production Setup
The app is deployed to heroku using a nodejs buildpack and ruby buildpack. A configuartion in package.json for "heroku-postbuild" which runs `npm run build` before starting the Rails server.
