GoRound

Kinda like Jackbox, but for drinking.

I made GoRound for a bit of fun. I enjoyed playing drinking games and thought it would be fun to bring a Jackbox-esque experience to that. Built entirely in Laravel, I used queued jobs to handle timers in game state, meaning I didn't have to keep a persistent game server running. Just the web server.

Websockets were used for communication between clients and to send realtime state updates from the server. It's mobile optimized and generally a good bit of fun!

I haven't touched the project in a while, and would consider it abandonware now, but it was fun at the time and I learned a lot from making it.
