The Bidder Journey

It was time for another Rails Rumble event, and I was looking for Ideas what to build.  Through one of coding competition I came across a problem in which you have to write a algorithm to outbid computer. I am (always been ) fan of Computer Games, so I thought why not build a Game based on this problem. Rails Rumble is a 48 hrs coding competition in which you have to build one Rails application. At this point, I knew what to build and which framework to use, but I didn't knew how to built it or even its possible in Rails, so I presented my Idea in Open Source Friday  .  I dry run my Idea on white board and played  a demo with Gautam Rege ( @ gautamrege ) on white board. People liked the Idea, and suggested how it can be done. Sanjiv Jha got interested in this game and joined me in the journey. The day of competition arrived 19 Oct 2013. Sanjiv and I coded 2 days , Stack used in Bidder is Ruby 2, Rails 4, Bootstrap 2.3, jquery 1.9, we used  Pusher  for broadcasting
