Hi all, I’m making a [skribbl.io](http://skribbl.io) clone, in which people join using a game ID, get assigned a word and have to draw that on the canvas. I’ve managed to code to allow users to join game rooms and have their names displayed on a who’s-playing board.

But I’m having trouble with the actual game. So basically what I’m trying to accomplish is:  
for example, I’m user3. If it’s my turn, show me a canvas with touchdraw, and then keep sending an image of my canvas to realtime db, and then display it in an image for others in the same room. If it’s **not** my turn, I want to hide the canvas and display an image of the current player’s canvas. There’ll be a text input that the user has to use to guess what the artist is drawing.

Here’s what I have so far:

(function ‘play’ fetches a random word from the API, it’s working fine)

It’s not like I have a bug as such, but I’m just stuck on where to proceed and what to do next. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

What’s one specific thing that isn’t working?

I haven’t done much to ‘not work’, I just don’t know what to do in order to loop through all the players, assign them a word, and allow all the other players to guess it, while keeping the drawings and guesse in sync with everyone else in the game room.
