I followed and installed nodopoly according to your instructions but when I run it I get a blank screen with only this following appearing:

Hello Wavesailor,

I think the default route isn't set properly in the code. In terms of visuals I only got as far as generating the gameboard which can be seen at http://localhost:3000/gameboard

Sadly I had to park this project since I had other commitments. My intended approach was to drive the game using nodejs and socket.io to generate chat messages across all connected devices (check out the tabs on the gameboard page). The messages could come from other users, but would also be used by the application to update all connected sessions. I would have then stored the game state in MongoDB so users could reconnect and play their turn.

I noticed that you are interested in AngularJS, I've been working on a repo that you might be interested in forking - https://github.com/jewkesy/FormulaOne , this was originally a NodeJS application but I soon converted it to AngularJS as a learning exercise. I host it on GitHub so that I don't need a dedicated server. It also integrates with a MongoDB sandbox to cache the content.

Thanks Daryl

Hi Daryl,

Thanks for update. Funny thing was that I first found a similar F1 app http://www.toptal.com/angular-js/a-step-by-step-guide-to-your-first-angularjs-app
... and then found your nodopoly app. I thought I'd just give it a try .. but am still tinkering around with the F1 app.

Thanks - Grant
