Building TwilioQuest with Twilio Sync, Django, and Vue.js

TwilioQuest is a retro-style video game developed by Twilio's Developer Education team as a developer training curriculum. The game uses Wagtail, a Python & Django-based CMS, to manage its content, which includes missions for nearly all of Twilio's products. A REST API built with Django REST Framework (DRF) exposes the data and provides real-time state synchronization through Twilio Sync, allowing the frontend to push updates from the server to the browser in real-time over WebSocket connections. The game is built using Vue.js as its single-page application framework, with a toolchain of Grunt, Browserify, Babel, Karma, and JSHint. Serverless functions are also used to extend the game via webhooks, such as sending congratulatory tweets when someone completes a mission objective. The team behind TwilioQuest is grateful for community feedback and looks forward to incorporating new features in future updates.
