gamify - A gamification platform to implement any serious game mechanic

Presentation

Game of Work, aka GoW!, was a gamification platform created by Emilio Ampudia (eampudia at gmail.com) and Paco Orozco (paco at pacoorozco.info).

We wanted to teach, learn and share some fun with our colleagues, so we created a game based on questions about our organization (process, services, teams...). This was the birth of gamify, a platform implementing a levels & badge game at UPCnet.

As much as possible, I've tried to keep a clean code to work everywhere out of the box. You are not obliged to use my tools and you are free to change the code in order to use it at your own feeling.

Disclaimer - It's ready for production, but no doc

It's fully working and you can play with it, but it lacks of some documentation. I'm working in order to improve it, in my personal free time, so be patient or contact me in order to give me your help.

How to run gamify

Laravel Sail is a light-weight command-line interface for interacting with Laravel's default Docker development environment. This will create several containers to implement the application needs. An application server and a database server.

Prior to this installation, you need to have installed this software:

• Docker

1. Clone the repository locally

   git clone https://github.com/pacoorozco/gamify-laravel.git gamify
   cd gamify
   

2. Copy .env.example to .env.

   NOTE: You don't need to touch anything from this file. It works with default settings.

3. Install PHP dependencies with:

   NOTE: You don't need to install neither PHP nor Composer, we are going to use a Composer image instead.

   docker run --rm \                  
   -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
   -v $(pwd):/var/www/html \
   -w /var/www/html \
   laravelsail/php80-composer:latest \
   composer install --ignore-platform-reqs
   

4. Start all containers with the sail command.

   ./vendor/bin/sail up -d
   

5. Seed database in order to play with some data

   php artisan key:generate 
   php artisan migrate --seed
   

   If you are using Sail, you should execute those commands using Sail:

   # Running Artisan commands within Laravel Sail...
   sail artisan key:generate 
   sail artisan migrate --seed
   

6. Point your browser to http://localhost. Enjoy!

   NOTE: Default credentials are admin@domain.local/admin or player@domain.local/player
