#Math-Race

Simple knockout.js / websockets / node.js real-time game

This is a very simple real-time game created with node.js, knockout.js and socket.io.

##Goal

Try to be faster than the other players in solving simple mathematical equations.

Every game has a limited time (defaults to one minute), so hurry up and beat the others.

Game score history is saved across games.

No database required (this is just a quick demo)

Enjoy!

##Demo

http://letsnode.com:8090/

You can also watch a short video to see the game being played

##Installation

###Install dependencies with npm:

npm install

###Configuration

Edit config file to reflect where are you running the server from (so the browser renders the proper link to socket.io resources)

exports.values={
	version: '0.0.1',
	server : {
		production : {
			real_time_server : {port: 8090, host: '127.0.0.1'}
		}
	}
	,
	game : {
		duration: 60 //seconds
	}
}

Run the server

node server.js 8090
