NOTE:

The frontend no longer needs to be installed separately as the php webserver has been migrated to a Java webserver, and the MySQL database to MongoDB. This repository has been merged into https://github.com/simon987/Much-Assembly-Required and is no longer being updated.

Much-Assembly-Required-Frontend

Frontend files for the https://muchassemblyrequired.com/ game. Information about the backend can be found here.

Installation instructions:

1. Install a PHP environnment and a MySQL server (e.g. XAMPP on Windows).
2. Configure the MAR database, using the installation script database.sql:

$ pwd
~/Much-Assembly-Required-Frontend/
$ mysql -u root -p < database.sql
Enter password:  # type your MySQL root user password if you set any
                 # on a fresh install the password is empty
                 # NOTE: on a fresh install you might have to run the command with sudo
                 # NEVER blindly run commands as sudo. Check the contents of the 'database.sql' file first!

Running instructions:

1. Start Apache and MySQL.
2. Start the backend (see here for further details).
3. Run the frontend from localhost. When using XAMPP, for example, you can place the frontend files in the xampp/htdocs/MAR folder, and you can run the frontend by typing http://localhost/MAR in your web browser.

If you didn't use the MySQL snippet above to configure your database, you may need to change the configuration in /include/config.php.
