Node Defender

Defend against waves of murderous server side code that wants nothing more than to kill and disconnect your node client.

Installation

npm install

Running the game

• Define the host location of the game server and run npm start as follows:

HOST=<server host> npm start

By default, HOST is http://localhost:8080.

Playing the game

To defend your node, you will need to implement a strategy against the waves of enemies that will attack you. A sample strategy has been provided to make you familiar with the available API to the server.

To begin, login and edit the code in the code editor and devise your strategy to last as long as possible against the onslaught.

1. The code is wrapped in a method that is called once per round and passed the following variables:
   • The roundInfo object contains methods for getting information about the round, such as a list of mobs.
   • The commander is where you will define what enemy to attack and what attack mode you want to use.
2. Click "Start Game"
