New Heart Game team game design for New Heart

New Heart Game Website

NewMe is the result of a collaboration between New Heart Cardiac Rehabilitation Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico and a group of students from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Our combined goal is to give patients coping with diabetes an entertaining and fun way to manage their illness effectively. Through this game, it is our hope that diabetics can become happier and healthier, and we hope that this game will become a model for others to follow. Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

New Heart Game Design Team New Heart Cardiac Rehabilitation Center - Albuquerque, New Mexico Georgia Institute of Technology; School of Literature, Media, and Communication - Atlanta, Georgia

Techinical Notes:

Setup

In order to run this website, make sure you have node.js, GraphicsMagick, libpng-1.0.2 or better, and MySQL installed. There is a "config/database.js" file that is not part of the repository that is also needed. The file contains connection parameters for your local database.

It follows the below format:

var configuration = {};
configuration.db_user = "";
configuration.db_host = "";
configuration.db_database = "";
configuration.db_password = "";
configuration.db_salt = "";

module.exports = configuration;

After creating the file and filling in the appropiate information, the file "database/database_setup.js" should be run. It should return

database setup
tables setup

If not, "config/database.js" was not set up correctly or your MySQL database is not running.

Once everything is setup, you can then start the server in a terminal by running

node server.js
