No Johns
The best way to work on this project is by remixing it on Glitch. There aren't any databases to manage or special backend services to run.
If you want to run it on your own computer, that's pretty easy too. You just need node 8.x installed.
- Get the code (clone from GitHub or download from Glitch)
- Run
npm install
to install Koa - Run
npm start
to start the server - The server is listening at 127.0.0.1:3000
The John-o-Tron was not my idea. The original concept for this project came from a thread created by /u/niffyjiffy in the /r/smashbros subreddit on January 31, 2014. Since then, a bunch of people have tried their hand at their version of the John-o-Tron. Here's a list of the ones that I could find:
- Shloub blazed the trail with http://pi.shloub.net/johnotron
- Tarek built a cool interface at http://taerk.net/files/john-o-tron-9k.html
- pstrmclr made a JSFiddle over at http://jsfiddle.net/rj4D9/
- SKELETORQUEMADA just dropped some code for folks in this comment
- csssuf went the extra mile and wrote an API at http://csssuf.net/johnotron
