TheGame-0.2

##Description 'The Game' is a 2D Multiplayer Side-scrolling Shooting game built using MongoDB, NodeJS, ExpressJS, Socket.IO, and Phaser. Other tech included Jade, HTML, Grunt, and Yeoman.

Built with a team of 5 over a 6 day period, our goal for this project was to discover making a shooting game that allows multiple players to play together. Our team implemented agile development methodologies with Object-Orientation to help with the translation of data being passed to the sockets and attempted to use MVC design structure.

##Technologies Used

• Frontend: Phaser, HTML, CSS, Socket.IO
• Backend: MongoDB, NodeJS, ExpressJS
