Traffic Warden game

I wrote this game as a demo for a talk I was invited to give at DevSoc (The University of York Game Dev Society)

It's a real time online multiplayer game. Similar in style to jackbox games it is played by lots of people in one room on mobile phones, along with a main view normally displayed on a big screen.

Play it now!

You can play this at https://trafficwarden.online

(Assuming that I haven't neglected to keep the server running, the domain name renewed, and the letsencrypt cert working)
