Try Not To Laugh Web Game

I participated in a hackathon in which my partner and I needed to create a project that would make the judges smile. We devised a plan to create a Video-chat roulette style game with a shared youtube player and facial recognition.

 

Players win points for watching a video without smiling. For each video you smile at, you gain an X and receive no points. 3 X’s and you’re OUT!

​

The design utilizes the React.js framework, express, socket.io, WebRTC, and Peerjs. I mainly focused my efforts on the backend networking with socket and CSS styling.
