Tabletop Ambulator

Overview

This web application makes it possible for owners of the game Tabletop Simulator to play games involving a hidden hand of cards with their friends who may not own a copy of the game themselves. The web app provides an interface to look at in-game hands and minimally interact with them. The host must manually co-ordinate some parts of the game.

Usage

Please refer to usage instructions in the Steam workshop item.

Contribution

Development

This is a NodeJS web app built on top of Express, React, and Websocket, with Postgres as the database.

The minimum requirements are NodeJs, Yarn, and Postgres. You will need to create a Postgres DB and store the connection URI in the environment variable DATABASE_URL. The lua file has code mirroring what is in the Workshop item - for development, replace the herokuapp URL with http://localhost:8000 at the top.

Developers must use yarn install after cloning the repository to populate the required dependencies. Afterwards, run node server/server.js to launch the server and yarn start to launch the React development server.

Pull Requests
