This project is an online Go Game powered by React, Typescript and Firestore database (NO-SQL).
“Go is an abstract strategy board game for two players, in which the aim is to surround more territory than the opponent. The game was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago and is believed to be the oldest board game continuously played to the present day.” Wikipedia
The purpose of the project is to provide an adequately rich problem domain for practicing multiple technologies.
- Referees each play for compliance to Go rules.
- Firebase Authentication for user sign-in.
- Responsive UI (for smart phones etc.)
- Real time chat in game.
- Game board automatically updates when opponent moves.
- Handicap Game
- Games on Smaller Boards (only 19x19 supported)
- Final Scoring of games
- AI opponent (you can only play against people)

Another purpose of this website is to allow interested persons to easily see my work. To facilitate this, I have provided two accounts with easy usernames and passwords so that you can view the site without "signing up". This allows you to quickly access games-in-progress without needing to recruit a friend to play against you. Though, if you want to, you definitely can play against each other using these two credentials. There is of course the possibility that two of you will log in as the same "test subject". This could result confusing events.
You are also welcome to sign up. A "real" email is not required as email verification has been turned off, but if you use a fake email address, you will not be able to use "forgot password".
Test Account email A: roo2@roo2.com
Test Account password A: 12345678
Test Account email B: roo3@roo3.com
Test Account password B: 12345678

npm install npm@latest -g - setup Firebase Authentication.
- setup Firestore Database.
- Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/steveLeVesconte/go-game-webapp-react-typescript.git - Install NPM packages
npm install - Enter your FIREBASE secrets in
/firestore.config.tsexport const firebaseConfig ={ apiKey: "[your api key here]", authDomain: "[your authDomain here]", projectId:"[your projectId here]", storageBucket: "[your storageBucket here]", messagingSenderId: "[your messagingSenderId: here]", appId: "[your appId here]", measurementId: "[your measurementId here]", };
Note: To find your Firebase secrets, click on the gear in the upper left corner of your "Project Overview" and choose "Project Settings".
