Abstract

Chat applications have proven to be effective tools for boosting software customer engagement. Tools like Discord are often used while playing online with friends and can provide an organic incentive to stay online. Using a firebase backend and a React JS frontend, chat functionality will be implemented within team Synaptic’s educational game suite web application. Similar to other functions within the application, the chat functions will be implemented using the React useContext() hook. An additional route for the chat application will be added to the application’s router to support simple navigation between the chat page, the game suite page, and the user info page. Users will not only be able to chat with other users but will also have access to achievement stickers that can be shared with others. By implementing this additional functionality, the game suite application will naturally foster future communities to actively participate with the provided educational games.
