MODAQ (MODerator Assistant for Quizbowl) is an application for assisting moderators with reading and scorekeeping quiz bowl matches. It helps track all the events that occur during the match, such as buzzes, substituions, protests, and more. It also tracks buzz point data, and can export it to TJ/UCSDSheets or a JSON file.

See the wiki to learn how to use the reader.

To use MODAQ in your product as an npm package, do the following

1. Add modaq as a dependency to your package.json file.

2. In your React file, import MODAQ with import * as Modaq from "modaq";, then use the control like <Modaq.ModaqControl />

3. If you want to use Export to a Google Sheets format, you need to supply your application's client ID, and include this in your HTML: <script async defer src="https://apis.google.com/js/api.js"></script>

4. If you want to use the packet parser (instead of passing in a packet parameter), you need to include a URL to YAPP

You will need to have npm and yarn installed on your system.

To setup the project, run

npm init

Then

npm build

Then open index.html.

VS Code is recommended as an IDE, although you can use whatever editor you like. If you install VS Code, be sure to install the Prettier VS Code extension.

To build, run

npm build

To run the tests, run

npm test

If you want to use the Dev Server (required for testing Google Sheets), then do the following

• Add this entry to your HOSTS file (in Windows, at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts)

  127.0.0.1 localhost.quizbowlreader.com

• Run npm start

• Open https://localhost.quizbowlreader.com:8080/out

  • You can either accept the HTTPS certificate, or you can create your own self-signed cert and add it to a certificate store. This PowerShell script should work in Windows, although I haven't tried this approach yet.

  $cert = New-SelfSignedCertificate -certstorelocation cert:\localmachine\my -dnsname localhost.quizbowlreader.com -KeyAlgorithm ECDSA_nistP256
