Emet
A funny, chaotic real-time multiplayer social deduction game set in a multiverse.
See CLAUDE.md and the docs/ folder.
Run the prototype
npm install
npm run dev
- Client: http://localhost:5173 (on a phone on the same Wi-Fi:
http://<mac-ip>:5173)
- WebSocket server: port 2567
- After creating a room, the page link (
?code=XXXX) is the invite link.
- Settings (speed, tick rate, map size, colors):
data/game.json.
Test solo
node server/scripts/bots.mjs CODE 4
Fills room CODE with 4 bots (the killer hunts, innocents report, random votes).
End-to-end server tests (server running): npm run test:kill, npm run test:meeting.
Deploy (permanent link)
Client on Vercel, game server on Render (Vercel can't keep one room on one in-memory server, see docs/DECISIONS.md).
- Push the repo to GitHub.
- Render → New → Blueprint → pick the repo (
render.yaml). Set ALLOWED_ORIGINS to your Vercel URL(s), e.g. https://emet.vercel.app,https://emet-*.vercel.app. Note the server URL (https://emet-server.onrender.com).
- Vercel → import the repo with Root Directory =
client (client/vercel.json is already set). Env var VITE_SERVER_URL=wss://emet-server.onrender.com. Deploy.
- Share the Vercel link. The free Render plan sleeps after 15 min idle: the first visitor waits ~30 s ("Waking up the server…").
Bots against the deployed server: SERVER_URL=wss://emet-server.onrender.com node server/scripts/bots.mjs CODE 4.
Railway / Fly: use the Dockerfile (server only) instead of Render.
Online playtest (from this Mac)
npm run build
PORT=8080 npm start
cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:8080
The https://….trycloudflare.com link printed by cloudflared is public: send it to the players. The Mac must stay on and awake; the link changes every time the tunnel restarts.
