Hungry Sharks is a multiplayer card game that is built with a React frontend and a MongoDB backend. This full stack application has many interesting features including live multiplayer functionality, instant messaging between opponents, stored user game statistics, and a nicely designed UI.
Building the game logic for Hungry Sharks required keeping track of a high number of game states using state variables.
const Game = () => {
const locationURL = window.location.href;
const split = locationURL.split("=");
const codeForRoom = split[1];
//Websocket
const [room, setRoom] = useState(codeForRoom);
const [roomFull, setRoomFull] = useState(false);
const [users, setUsers] = useState([]);
const [currentUser, setCurrentUser] = useState("");
//Modals, info and toggle
const [modalP1Show, setModalP1Show] = useState(false);
const [modalP2Show, setModalP2Show] = useState(false);
const [info, setInfo] = useState("The shark is now officially hungry!");
//Message state
const [message, setMessage] = useState('')
const [messages, setMessages] = useState([])
const [isChatBoxHidden, setChatBoxHidden] = useState(true)
//Game state
const [gameOver, setGameOver] = useState(true);
const [winner, setWinner] = useState("");
const [drawCardsPile, setDrawCardsPile] = useState([]);
const [playedCard, setPlayedCard] = useState("back");
const [p1Cards, setP1Cards] = useState([]);
const [p2Cards, setP2Cards] = useState([]);
const [p1RemainingTurns, setP1RemainingTurns] = useState(0);
const [p2RemainingTurns, setP2RemainingTurns] = useState(0);
const [activePlayer, setActivePlayer] = useState("");
const [threeCards, setThreeCards] = useState([]);Each gameplay card had a complex set of logic that aligned with the game's rules.
case "DR": {
const topThreeCards = [];
for (
let i = drawCardsPile.length - 1;
i > drawCardsPile.length - 4;
i--
) {
topThreeCards.push(drawCardsPile[i]);
}
if (activePlayer === "P1") {
socket.emit("updateGameState", {
playedCard: cardPlayed,
threeCards: [...topThreeCards],
p1RemainingTurns: p1RemainingTurns,
p2RemainingTurns: p2RemainingTurns,
p1Cards: [...cardsOfP1],
p2Cards: [...cardsOfP2],
modalP1Show: true,
info: `The Gods have intervened! ${activePlayer} knows the next 3 cards in the deck`,
});
} else if (activePlayer === "P2") {
socket.emit("updateGameState", {
playedCard: cardPlayed,
threeCards: [...topThreeCards],
p1RemainingTurns: p1RemainingTurns,
p2RemainingTurns: p2RemainingTurns,
p1Cards: [...cardsOfP1],
p2Cards: [...cardsOfP2],
modalP2Show: true,
info: `The Gods have intervened! ${activePlayer} knows the next 3 cards in the deck`,
});
}One interesting feature that was used in this application was the Apexcharts library, which allows for building highly customizable data visualizations and rendering them inside React components.
