The second project of my Game Design class was to create a flash game as a Facebook application in a team of 2 developers and 1 artist from a digital art class. The flash game is online and needs a running server to connect to, which was written in Java. The server would handle the clients’ connections and safely store necessary data in a MySQL database.

We decided to make an aircraft shooter, get points and bonuses, kill enemies type of game. Our artist was into abstract art, so our game has some unusual looking pieces of art. It was interesting working with someone with very little gaming experience.

I implemented the server in Java, which safely handles MySQL queries. I also handled the enemy pathing and some of the basic parts of the game engine.
