  • ReactJS

This is a fun multiplayer game that you can play with your friends. I wanted to build this to learn the architecture/design of how you would build a multiplayer game. This game allows you to play a Pokemon Variant of Rock Paper Scissors with your friend by sending them a link. The game uses AWS API Gateway websockets to provide a real time playing experience and is a great way to resolve small decisions quickly!
