# 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 This repository has been merged into https://github.com/simon987/Much-Assembly-Required and is no longer being updated.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](https://github.com/simon987/Much-Assembly-Required).

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](https://github.com/simon987/Much-Assembly-Required-Frontend/blob/master/database.sql):
```bash
$ 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](https://github.com/simon987/Much-Assembly-Required) 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.
