ft_transcendence

Ft_transcendence is the last project of the 42 School core curriculum.

The goal is to create a single-page application (SPA) allowing users to play the famous Pong game from 1972.

This web application should enable users to:

• Create an account and log in,

• Play a Pong game locally on the same computer (with 2 players),

• Play remotely in the same game with 2 or 4 players,

• Participate in a 4-player tournament on the same computer,

• View and edit their profile,

• Check their game history with data visualisation.

This list is not exhaustive.

ft_transcendence is a group project involving between 3 and 5 people.

We decided to do it with five people and to divide the project into the following parts:

1. Back-end -> database and API,

2. Front-end -> interfaces, user flows and routing,

3. Pong game -> multiplayer games and sockets,

4. Secure authentication -> JWT and two-factor authentication (2FA),

5. DevOps -> infrastructure, monitoring and logs

Within this group, I worked on the front-end layer, excluding sockets (this is a skill I have been able to develop through the Webserv project).

My role was to:

• Integrate all user interfaces using Tailwind CSS,

• Define user flows by creating a prototype with Figma Design,

• Implement routing for different pages/views without a complete reloading in Vanilla JS (JavaScript without framework),

• Retrieve data from back-end through API endpoints in order to deliver it to users.

This was a very cross-functional role that required collaboration with all members of the group, excluding the DevOps part.

This project also allowed me to work with TypeScript, a strongly typed overlay of the JavaScript language.
