        "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets"

Getting Started After Deploying NodeGame

This app will setup the basic nodeGame v7 server with an ultimatum game.

After creating the droplet, ssh once into your droplet to automatically initialize the nodeGame server.

You can then upload your own game into the server’s games/ directory and restart the server. Instructions will be shown at startup and saved into your home directory.

Previous version v6 available in a separated folder (must start manually).
