Description

This is the client software for Racing+, a Binding of Isaac: Repentance racing platform. Normally a single player game, the Lua mod, client, and server allow players to be able to race each other in real time.

The client is written with Electron and uses WebSockets to communicate with the server. The pretty elements are courtesy of HTML5 UP.

• We cannot update to the latest version of electron due to a bug with it not sending the previously gotten cookie when establishing a websocket connection.
• We cannot update to the latest version of node-fetch and @types/node-fetch due to TypeScript not supporting ESM-only modules.
