Day Time
Narrator
- Describes who was killed
- ... and whether or not they were saved
- Killed players are out of the game
- Casts a vote for a lynching
- Lynched player is also killed
- Moves to night phase
Victory!
When one team is completely eliminated
And then some
- 30+ Roles
- Multiple teams
- Special victory conditions
- Eg. "Village Idiot" wins by being lynched
Some Problems...
A big notebook!
Lots of waiting
The narrator has to reconcile all the night actions
Inconsistency
Easy to slip up
...Modernize!
Anything humans can do, computers can do better
MVP
- Single tablet, used by narrator
- 4 roles: Mafia, Cop, Medic, Pleb
- Tablet passed around circle for name/role allocation
- No saving, replay, undo, stats or anything
The Future!
- 50+ roles
-
- Maybe even a marketplace for roles
- Stats, replays, high scores
- Narrator optional
- Each player uses phone and the Internet
And for me...
- Mobile app development
- Cordova
- Angular 2
- PouchDB
- DDD / CQRS / Event Sourcing in JS
- Frequent prod releases
DDD in TypeScript
Interfaces are great!
When they exist
Workaround:
abstract class
@Injectable()
- Need it everywhere that needs injection, or reflection will be unavailable
Event replay
- Cannot JSON.parse into a class
- TypeScript interfaces are ideal for this!
- No type information in interfaces...
- Each event needs to have a type name field
- Polymorphism isn't supported in TypeScript...
- Use type name and convention methods
- Eg. onPlayerKilled(event : PlayerKilled)
