Welcome to Drawful 1.5!

A fun little clone of Drawful

Grab a few friends and play here

Made with Rails api on the backend, vanilla JS on the front. Hosted on Github pages & Heroku, with the images on S3.

Gameplay

You will be given a prompt, which you will then have to draw. Each of your friends will see your drawing, and will attempt to guess the correct prompt. Yes, it will be completely unfair.

Draw!

Submit bogus prompts to confuse your opponents!

Guess on your friend's drawings!

Setup

You can download with git clone and set up with

1. bundle install
2. rails db:setup
3. rails db:schema:load
4. rails db:migrate

Technical Notes

For Heroku, we can only push the subtree with the app. See:

git subtree push --prefix drawful-backend heroku master
