Geo Racer

Ready, set, race! With GeoRacer.io, you’ll set up a course of custom waypoints to race your friends! The game’s hot/cold meter will guide you as you rush to your next waypoint. Competition getting a little too close? Wanna keep your lead? Hit racers with one of the in game hazards. Find all the waypoints first to be the champ. There will be many GeoChasers, but only one GeoRacer.

Geo Racer was created by a small, mighty team at Gaslight, using Phoenix and LiveView for Phoenix Phrenzy

PostGIS Extensions

GeoRacer has a dependency on the PostGIS extensions for Postgres, so you will need to make sure you install those for your operating system. Take a look [at the official installation page] (https://postgis.net/install/) for instructions specific to your machine. Once you have the extensions installed, you should be able to run mix ecto.setup (make sure you've fetched your dependencies first with mix deps.get!) from the root directory and the Ecto migrations will take care of enabling the extensions for you.

Environment Variables

GeoRacer also requires you to have a SECRET_KEY_BASE environment variable set to run locally. If you don't have one already, you can generate one with:

export SECRET_KEY_BASE="$(mix phx.gen.secret)"

Client-side Dependencies

Don't forget to install your client-side assets before running the app: cd ./assets && npm install

Local Development

Run mix phx.server now and you can visit localhost:4000 the app in your browser. Since the app was designed specifically for mobile devices, it is best to expose a portal or a way to access the local server running on your machine from your mobile phone. One quick and easy option is to use ngrok. Install ngrok on your machine and then /path/to/ngrok http 4000. This should print out two links, one that uses https. You will want to use the secure https link to get the geolocation services to work on your device (browsers will not send geolocation information over non-secure http connections).
