<p>I've recently created a template where you can host games in <code>Express.js</code> with the help of <a target="_blank" href="http://Socket.io"><code>Socket.io</code></a>.</p>
<div class="embed-wrapper"><div class="embed-loading"><div class="loadingRow"></div><div class="loadingRow"></div></div><a class="embed-card" href="https://github.com/VulcanWM/host-game-expressjs">https://github.com/VulcanWM/host-game-expressjs</a></div>
<p> </p>
<hr />
<p>These are all the pages the template has:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>/</code>: has a link to the join game page and the host game page</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>/host</code>: generates a game id and creates a game in which others can play the game. The host can decide when to start the game and this triggers a change in <a target="_blank" href="http://Socket.io">Socket.io</a> which changes. the content on the player's screens</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>/join</code> contains a form in which you have to enter your game id</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>/join</code> (<code>POST</code>): redirects you to <code>/join/[game_id]</code></p>
</li>
<li><p><code>/join/[game_id]</code>: renders a page where you enter your nickname for the game</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>/join/[game_id</code> (<code>POST</code>): the user's game id and nickname gets saved to the session and then they get redirected to <code>/play</code></p>
</li>
<li><p><code>/play</code>: the play screen is rendered, and the screen is updated whenever a new socket event is triggered</p>
</li>
</ul>

I've recently created a template where you can host games in `Express.js` with the help of [`Socket.io`](http://Socket.io).

These are all the pages the template has:

* `/`: has a link to the join game page and the host game page
    
* `/host`: generates a game id and creates a game in which others can play the game. The host can decide when to start the game and this triggers a change in [Socket.io](http://Socket.io) which changes. the content on the player's screens
    
* `/join` contains a form in which you have to enter your game id
    
* `/join` (`POST`): redirects you to `/join/[game_id]`
    
* `/join/[game_id]`: renders a page where you enter your nickname for the game
    
* `/join/[game_id` (`POST`): the user's game id and nickname gets saved to the session and then they get redirected to `/play`
    
* `/play`: the play screen is rendered, and the screen is updated whenever a new socket event is triggered
