Battleship

This project began as a mental exercise and whiteboarding experiment during a job interview a few years ago, but the idea was fun and it seemed like a really good way to showcase proficiency in several different technologies at once. So I decided to make a Battleship implementation using Elixir and Phoenix, Vue.js, Tailwind.css, and Redis, using Websockets.

There is plenty of room for improvement, including potential future features including a waiting room, user stats, and more, and could indeed be turned into a full Battleship server on a whim, if inspiration strikes.

Requirements

You will need to have the following installed on your system in order to use this:

• Elixir
• Redis
• Node

All can be installed through apt-get or homebrew.

Getting started

To start your Phoenix server:

• Install dependencies with mix deps.get
• Install Node.js dependencies with npm install inside the assets directory
• Start Phoenix endpoint with mix phx.server

Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.
