Outline:

A popular card game in Asian called Panda, but on the web! Multiplayer mode enabled to allow 4 players at a time. Real time update of changes and result.

How I built it:

I worked on front-end back-end integration (Javascript, CSS), front-end functionality such as selecting cards and highlighting, styling, FIGMA prototype, and real time update of react components.

This game requires good integration between front-end and back-end that can render and update the page instantly for smooth gameplay; cards, the winner of the round are displayed dynamically. Back-end sends gameStatus to the front-end every second, but frequent update erases effects such as highlighting, a technical challenge I overcame.

I learnt a lot about React and how to smoothly display real-time changes on the front-end.

Lo-fi UI Design:
