Tichu-JS

A single-player simulation of the famous Tichu card game which runs in the browser.
There are many rule variations. This particular implementation rules are described here.

While this project started as a motive to learn JavaScript & ReactJS while also getting more familiar with basic HTML/CSS, it ended up being interesting on its own way, particularly during the card combinations logic implementation.

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Online deployment

The game is currently deployed on Netlify, you can check it out here.

Local deployment

• Node.js is required
• Clone the repository in your local machine
• npm install
• After the installation has been completed, run one of the scripts described below (in the project root directory):

Available Scripts

• npm start

  Runs the app in the development mode.
  Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

  The page will reload if you make edits.
  You will also see any lint errors in the console.

• npm test

  Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
  See the section about running tests for more information.

• npm run build

  Builds the app for production to the build folder.
  It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
  The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.

  See the section about deployment for more information.

  If npm run build fails to minify, see the section here.

• npm run eject

  Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

  If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from the project.

  Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into the project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

  You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
