Create a new Dev Rando challenge app with ease!

What is the Dev Rando Challenge?

The Dev Rando Challenge is inspired by game randomizers, particularly those for classics like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It applies this concept to coding, challenging developers to build something with randomly assigned dependencies. For more information, visit the Dev Rando Challenge website.

Usage

To create a new Dev Rando challenge app, run:

npx create-rando-app

Follow the prompts to set up your project.

Features

• Fetches the current Dev Rando challenge
• Creates a new project with randomized dependencies
• Initializes a git repository (optional)
• Installs dependencies (optional)

Project Structure

After running create-rando-app, your project will have the following structure:

my-rando-app/
├── package.json
├── devrando.config.json
└── .gitignore

• package.json: Contains the randomized dependencies for your challenge.
• devrando.config.json: Includes metadata about the challenge. Include this file in your repo to help with debugging issues and for searchability if publicly publishing to GitHub.
• .gitignore: Pre-configured to ignore node_modules

Challenge Rules

1. Build something using only the provided dependencies
2. No adding, removing, or bumping dependencies (npm prepare / npm verify-deps will fail inside the project)
3. Be creative and have fun!

Disclaimer

As stated on the Dev Rando Challenge website:

This is the one serious section here: no warranty, no guarantees are made as to the functionality or interoperability of the dependencies in the challenge. You should not use the challenge dependencies in a production environment.

Happy coding!
