Production environment

Was used Digital Ocean to host the applications using a little droplet with 1GB/25GB with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS at New York with Docker and Nginx(for reverse proxy).

Also was used Github Actions to create docker images for backend and frontend

Next desired steps

• Change the primary key of the game from Integer to UUID to avoid cheating from the players
• User authentication to store the match history
• Create a global and by user scoreboard
• Create unit tests
