A reasonable starter kit for building React and Node.js turn-based games.

This is a standard full stack JavaScript monorepo managed with Bun workspaces. Frontend and backend are found in client/ and server/, respectively.

If you have nix and direnv set up, just open this directory. Everything will 'just work'. Otherwise:

1. Make sure you have bun installed and an eslint plugin, or a language server protocol plugin that will allow you to use tsserver, installed for your editor of choice. VSCode is your go-to option if you're newer to software development.
2. Run bun install in the root directory of the entire project to install all dependencies.
3. Run bun run dev in the root directory to start up the hot reloading process.

• React functional components for templating and structure. Industry standard.
• CSS-in-JS (JSS): This is my personal preference, but it's not something we have to use.

• Express API with websockets. I think it's best to use websockets and in-memory data as much as we can, because there isn't much of a reason to create accounts and persist data yet (IMO).

• All-in-one, strongly opinionated ESLint + Prettier linting and fixing. Feel free to convert errors into warnings if something is annoying you.
• Some sort of deployment infrastructure
