Nouron — A Free Space Opera Browsergame

Nouron is a sci-fi strategy browsergame built with PHP 8, Laminas MVC, SQLite and Bootstrap 5.

Quickstart

Nouron uses an SQLite database delivered with the project (data/db/nouron.db), so no database setup is required for local testing.

Requirements: PHP 8.0+, Composer

# After cloning, install dependencies
composer install

# Start local dev server
php -S localhost:10000 -t public/

# (Optional) Run unit tests
./vendor/bin/phpunit
