Battleship React live-coding demo

Installation instructions:

• Run bower install
• Run serve (assuming it will work on port 3000)
• Open http://localhost:3000/index.html

These are the steps that will be covered in the demo:

step 1 - greet and show board

• Write the simple app and a board, use the logic.Game object itself and pass as a whole. Handle click down in the board

step 2 - show hints of solution

• Add the "show solution" and "show hints" checkboxes, start with checked, then onClick, and then show the link state mixin (checkedLink)

step 3 - number of guesses

• Add the GuessCount and show how it is not refreshed though it is changed in game.Board
• Move the click handler to the app. Talk about flux, show how it works
• Add render count on the guess count. Show how shouldComponentUpdate prevents renders
• Replace to React.addons.PureRenderMixin and show that it still works
• Add React.addons.PureRenderMixin to board, and show that stops working - explain about ref compare
• Pass the matrix instead of the game

step 4 - enter name to start

• Add "Enter your name to start" and get focus using ref and componentDidMount.
• Add button to change the state of "loggedIn"
• Show the board only after loggedIn
