Concept-Game Service

Running the service

1. Clone this repo
2. Populate the assets directory with clue images using the '001.png' naming scheme
3. cf push the code to Cloud Foundry or Pez. Call the app "concept-game".
4. Bind a MySQL service to the app.
5. Restage the app.

Using the service

Most of the time you'll want to hit the create endpoint.
If you've already created a puzzle, you can use the view endpoint to see it.
You can also hit the watchRecent endpoint to watch someone build a puzzle (using the create page) in real time.

The Create Page

This page features:

• Clickable coloured icons for choosing between concepts or sub-concepts.
• Clickable clue icons. Clicking these will add a new clue to the puzzle.
• A puzzle identifier at the top of the page, consisting of a three-word string.
• An image representing the current puzzle.
• A save button with associated solution and author fields. Saving a puzzle will store it to the database, ensuring it will be available even after the service is restarted.
  Once a puzzle has been saved, a view link is provided. A view link can also be created by pasting the puzzle identifier as the puzzleId property of the view endpoint. EG. http://concept-game.cfapps.pez.pivotal.io/view?puzzleId=some-puzzle-id

The View Page

The view endpoint can take an optional asPng param. When this param is set, the page will display the puzzle as a PNG image instead of html.
