- The goal was to use the tools we learned in class and make a working game through a webpage that is hosted/run on a Virtual Machine. By using our Virtual Machine (IIS Server) we were to use node.js to run a JavaScript program through a webpage we created through HTML. I added inbound/outbound port rules to allow established connections to be able to properly run the game through the webpage. I needed the web page to display the buttons properly and, when clicked, display an alert to let the user know the result of whether they won the game or not (by picking rock, paper, or scissors). The result was that I was able to successfully get the webpage and the game to work, whilst running the IIS server through my Virtual Machine. I was able to add new rules for ports and placed the HTML and JS files in their rightful locations in order to have the game work properly. I learned that this whole process is very versatile, during the course of the semester we learned both Virtual Machines (Azure), and coding (node.js), however we learned them separately. This exercise helped combine the two and show what’s possible with what we can work with. I also learned how important adding inbound/outbound port rules were, in order to allow connections to be able to run any webpages, programs, or games that you make.
