This repo contains a node.js implementation of the ChainBet protocol built using TypeScript. The specification of the ChainBet protocol is here: https://github.com/fyookball/ChainBet. An example program (dice.js) is provided to demonstrate how to use the chainbet npm package. Instructions for compiling the chainbet npm package from TypeScript source are also provided.

Compiling TypeScript Source for npm package

The following dice.js example shows a simple command-line program which facilitates a trustless p2p dice games using the ChainBet npm package. Running this example requires that at least one player is already running the program in "client mode" before another player uses "host mode" to announce a coin flip bet wager.

1. install node.js (v8.11.3 or later)
2. git clone https://github.com/jcramer/chainbet
3. cd chainbet
4. npm install
5. npm run build
6. Verify the libs directory was created with output js and d.ts files.
