# DRW
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A small app for collecting drawings in real time. Runs on a small express server that connects sources (where to draw) and destinations (where to display) via websockets.
|
|
|
|
_(hei! this is still work in progress! currently adapting some aspects in the server in order to: a. make it open-end and not strictly related to vvvv, and b. make it possible to have more destinations connected to receive the drawings at the same time)_
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
Clone the repo , move to the directory and install the dependencies using your favourite package manager ([npm](https://www.npmjs.com/), [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/), etc.).
|
|
|
|
Note that to run the app you will need to install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/), either on your machine or on a VPS.
|
|
|
|
For example with npm:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://git.xpub.nl/kamo/drw
|
|
cd drw
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To start the application run
|
|
|
|
`node server.js`
|
|
|
|
or in alternative
|
|
|
|
`npm start`
|
|
|
|
Then open your browser to `localhost:3000` and there you can draw.
|
|
|
|
If you open another tab and navigate to `localhost:3000/destination`, there you will receive the drawings. This destination page is just an example!
|
|
|
|
The app is meant to be open-end, meaning that the destination of the drawing is up to you! (ah ah! less work for us). Originally it was coupled with [vvvv](https://visualprogramming.net/), but it can be implemented with any platform supporting the websocket protocol.
