Mockstreet

Fixes made in the backend, making the site smoother, generated/scraped data for multiple days and most importantly, deployed the project to a vps and now it’s live in production can play the game at https://www.mockstreet.com/ the dev hours logged also contains hours lost previously due to mayhaps a flavortown/hackaclub bug. I’ve also added terms and conditions and privacy policy pages to the site. next I am thinking of fixing some ui bugs, which have persisted for a long time in the ui for example in small price tickers(for example doge) the chart is acting weird and similar issues, I would be fixing in my next devblog.

Migrated from SQLite to PostgreSQL, hosted the api on a server and deployed the site, a lot of time went setting up smtp for email verification and i kinda dont like zoho(WHERE THE HELL IS THE ADMIN PANEL) So i ended up creating a new gmail account and now using gmail smtp , other than that fixed various bugs and the site is in somewhat playable condition.
There are still bugs in the winner calculation logic. So I can’t public the site yet. I need to fix those and add rate limits in the next devblog I would provide a link and make it public. It seems like it still has a lot of issues with the calculations. So i would be fixing them next.

Added more tickers and markets(forex, crypto, NSE, NIFTY ect to the database, improved the script the scrape the last 8 days of data of every single ticker and store it in the db, created a ticker endpoint to get all the tickers. Next i would be setting up the login the email and setup google oauth then publish the site(after that some bug fixes)

For this devlog i fixed various bugs, ditched the use of user_id and now the api is using usernames instead, it is eaiser to debug that way if something goes wrong : ) although that did take quite a lot of time. For the open trade positions, I created another private websockets endpoint between the server and the user which shows all the open positions with extra info privately to the user. Now all the PNL and calculations are being done on the server side instead of client side as before. next i would try to setup the login/signup oauth and stuff + fix time. aparently server time appears different from localtime need to fix that i suppose. will see you all in the next dev blog. These are actually quite fun to write.

The core of the mockstreet is near ready, there needs to be a bit on tinkering to be done bit by bit. but I am planning on deploying it tonight and letting my friends play it.
I would be attaching a few images below.
I’ve added some cool animations to the frontpage.
Fixed a lot of issues with the trading part and currently it seems to be working.
I would be implementing chat next and fix a few issues with the backend.

I’m working on my first project! This is so exciting. I can’t wait to share more updates as I build. currently I’ve been learning websockets to share the trading data from the backend in a cool way, and i also need to scrape more historical chart data OwO. for this project i would be using trading view lightweight charts library but i wish i get the standard charting library soon, as i am planning on turning this into a fun place to have play among traders.
