End-to-end Demo

Lobby System

The Specs

• Pretend you have a working pvp game, like rock paper scissors, maybe a button and the first one to click it wins.
• I want the lobby, you queue for a game and when someone else queues you find each other and start a match
• Each new match will probably need an ID and we need some sort of listener somewhere doing something interesting
• So user clicks Play Now, they wait for someone to match them, then are taken to a live game screen
• Maybe stats if there is time.

Tech Steps:

• Hosting: just show how to push a thing out
• Firebase Auth: I'll use some very basic authentication (to remember your stats)
• Firebase Functions: this takes a back-end maybe
• JSON structure: We need to design the database layout (for a history of matches and a sort of live queue of users)
• A fake game, I like my first to click this button wins game
• Some differential (e.g. admin) behavior for starting/stoping the survey (maybe putting text values in the buttons)
• Some light security?

That's a lot to try to do in one session, I'll try to not let perfect keep us from delivering. But I actually want this one to work...
