This is a real meaty tutorial! I've no experience with any of them, except for JS, and the basic understanding of the functioning of the server. I initially questioned, "why redis?", but then you explained that the client only gets the current map, as well as the random key placements, rather than throwing all the rooms at it for navigation in the front end code. I've not quite finished with the whole video to see if you explained it, but I wasn't sure why you chose to use a docker container. Thanks for this walkthrough!

I wasnt looking to make a game but to use kaboom... and this video really helps. Thanks for uploading it!

I am using node-redis instead of ioredis, trying to convert const stream = redis.scanStream({
match: 'kaboom:moves:*'
}); to node-redis, any hints on how to do that block of code? /api/activegames?
