Dungeons & Dragons / Pathfinder Game

Welcome to the Dungeons & Dragons Game project! This is a web-based application built with React for our community to play and program a tabletop role-playing game. The goal of this project is to provide a platform where we can create characters, embark on exciting adventures, experience immersive storytelling, enhance our programming skills, and work with AI tools to become more proficient.

To run the application locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/YinYang117/AaDnD.git or git@github.com:YinYang117/AaDnD.git
2. Front end not setup yet
3. Install dependencies: cd into BackendExpress: npm i
4. Start the development server: from BackendExpress: npm start

The application should now be running on http://localhost:3000. Open this URL in your browser to access the app.
