Flunkerei

A game all about lying - heavily inspired by the Jackbox Party Pack game "Fibbage: Enough About You"

Uncover truths and fabrications as players reveal personal anecdotes and craft convincing lies. With new rounds adding twists and turns, it's not just about what you know, but who you can fool!

Getting Started

# Arch Linux
pacman -S nodejs-lts-iron

corepack enable
corepack prepare pnpm@latest --activate

pnpm install

cd client
pnpm dev

Spin up the server

pnpm dev

Visit localhost:5173 in your browser and start playing!

Local Multiplayer

If you want to play with friends within the same network, you will need to change some settings.

[!NOTE] As soon as we have implemented a gateway server, these steps will no longer be necessary. A well known gateway server will then handle communication between clients and servers without the need for manual configuration.

1. Find out your local IP address
2. Open the client/.env file and change the VITE_API_BASE_URL to http://<your-ip>:3000
3. Launch the client with the --host flag to allow outside connections
4. Launch the server as usual
5. Let your friends connect via http://<your-ip>:5173
