Why?

I initiated this project to enhance my front-end skills and gain hands-on experience with AWS. Along the way, I faced a lot of challenges such as user sessions, CORS, and WebSocket Configurations. I also had to find a way to execute terminal commands sent from the users safely. Last but not least, AWS charged me even for the free tier (they said T2.nano instances were free - it wasn’t).

In a nutshell, this project was my playground for overcoming challenges, enhancing my front-end proficiency and creating user-friendly web applications to improve my portfolio.

Built With

Every project in this repo is built with the same technologies.

“Inte­lect is a magnitude of intensity, not a magnitude of extensity.” -Schopenhauer

Backend:

• Java (17)
• Spring Boot (3.1.1)
• Maven (3.6.3)

Frontend:

• JavaScript
• HTML
• CSS
• React (8.11.0)

Containerization:

• Docker (24.0.7)

Deployment:

• AWS

Additional Technologies:

• REST APIs
• WebSockets
• Object Oriented Programming
• Data Structures and Algorithms
• Git (2.34.1)

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following tools installed on your machine:

• Maven
• Node.js and npm
• Docker

Installation

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/CumaBolat/code-hub.git
   cd code-hub 
   

2. Frontend Setup:

   cd src/main/frontend
   npm install
   

3. Backend Setup:

   # Go back to CodeHUB directory,
   # choose either of the following commands
   cd ../../..
   # or
   cd /code-hub
   mvn spring-boot:run
   

4. Access the Application:

   When you successfully run the spring application, go to http://localhost:5000 (A spring application usually runs on 8080. However, since AWS Elastic Beanstalk uses apache and apaches listens to port 5000/80. So I changed my application to run on port 5000. You can change it in your local envrionment by opening application.properties and deleting the line server.port=5000)

   Feel free to customize it further or add any additional details based on your specific setup.

Game Of Life

Game of Life is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. I created this project to explore the game’s rules and principles while enhancing my front-end skills. The game is a zero-player game, meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an initial configuration and observing how it evolves.

Getting Started With Game Of Life

1. Open Game of Life Page:
   • Go to the Game of Life page to start the game through the Home page.
2. Fill The Grid However You Like:
   • Fill the grid with cells by clicking on the cells, use randomize button or select any of the patterns from the dropdown menu.
3. Start The Game:
   • Start the game by clicking the start button.
4. Enjoy The Game:
   • Watch the cells evolve and enjoy the game.

Features of Game Of Life

• Grid Controls:

  • Start, stop, clear, and randomize the grid to control the simulation.

• Simulation Speed:

  • Adjust the speed of the simulation to observe the evolution at different rates.

• Grid Size Adjustment:

  • Change the size of the grid to accommodate different configurations and resolutions.

• Pattern Loading:

  • Load the grid with prefilled, famous patterns to explore various configurations.

• Pattern Library:

  • View a list of patterns along with their descriptions to understand their behavior and significance.

• Game Description:

  • Access a comprehensive description of Conway’s Game of Life to learn about its rules and principles.

Future Plans for Game Of Life

• Will add tests.
• Will add more patterns.
• Will add more features to the game.
• Will optimize the code.
• See what happens…
