Memory with NodeJS and jQuery

Idea

Implementing a turn based memory game with multiple Clients and custom game size. It currently implements an abstract game class, so its easy to implement another turn based board game onto this service.

Getting Started

Requirements: Node.js 18 or newer.

npm install   # install dependencies
npm start     # compiles TypeScript (prestart) and starts the server

The server then runs at http://localhost:4200 (override with the PORT env variable).

Tech Stack

• Backend: Node.js + Express 5 (TypeScript)
• Frontend: jQuery 3.7 + Bootstrap 5.3
