Welcome to Weird Inventions
The chaotic party game where creativity peaks.
What is this?
Imagine a bunch of your friends crowding around one screen, each making up the most wacky invention ideas known. Up to 12 players can play at once. This would be more if I had better means of hosting.
Don't worry!
This game is simple enough that even your sleep-deprived brain can handle it:
- Players join and pick a username (16 max letters)
- Everyone creates a cursed invention idea (Waits for everyone to finish cooking)
- You get to draw someone else's idea to draw (1m 30s to draw)
- The group presents & votes on the best fail's/solution's (1m for each presentation)
How does it work (gets nerdy here)
Originally I created a game like this and is still available on my GitHub here. After that I created it again but with PlayroomKit this code is not available anymore. I then created this one in React, Next.js, Socket.IO, and Tailwind. Thanks to render.com I can host the backend websocket server for free. Their free plan may be limited however the backend server is actually pretty light-weight. It's probably not the best choice to use Python for the backend but it was just my personal favorite for making Socket.IO servers.
Wheres the play button already!?!??!
The host button does not appear on smaller screens, because it's harder to develop for and will never be supported.
