Mathblitz

• successfully cached each page
• added a levelling system that is database persistent
• my score balancing is waaaayy off (5k for each level but one game is 113k) so that’s something that i need to fix

• Used Tailwind CSS to center the text on every screen
• Used TanStack Query to render the the database and cache it in order to save database queries
• Added a back button onto every screen
• Used Rechart in order to add a graph of both user’s scores at the end of the game
• Turned the timer into a smooth progress bar
  For the future, I probably want to cache each page when a user visits it for like an hour so that it doesn’t have to load every time and then figure out why it takes like 10+ seconds for a game to load when the database filling finishes in like 2 seconds

I added the ability to search up users by their username while also being cost efficient in terms of database queries

Added functionality for sending and accepting friend requests as well as seeing accepted friend requests
most just did stuff for friend requests

I started to flesh out the profile page, adding the basic stuff with fields from the database. i also added some functionality for other users and viewing their profile, but i haven’t added a way to search other users yet so i cant show that yet lol

for this update:

• finished adding to the database after a game is finished
• reorganized the frontend into the rough format that i want (still need to fix each page)
• added matchmaking for ranked gamemode
• added combo scoring during the game

Here’s what I have for this update:

• finished a basic version of the actual gameplay, from start to finish (see video)
• separated the game react page into 2 distinct components, the active game and custom lobby (the matchmaking will take place in the main lobby and not a game lobby)
• implemented the scoring
• TODO: combo scoring + update magnifiers for scoring (1000 looks a lot better than 1)
  - both game send at different times, so i have to fix that too

Now that the deadline got extended, I might be able to finish this project!
This is mathblitz, a competitive mental math game that I plan on making. Here’s what I have so far:

• websocketing
• logins connected with Prisma
• really bad UI
• frontend-backend interaction that works
