World Traveler

Serious Game for Graduate Students' Thesis

Fall 2008
Role: Programmer
Engine: Flash AS3

World Traveler is a flash-based game created for Michigan State University's study abroad program, designed by Mary Stanish and Kacie Schaeffer. I lent them my assistance with Actionscript 3 programming, taking PSD mock-ups and design documentation they gave me and making functioning prototypes in Flash. The games I was responsible for coding are Dress for Success, Catch that Passport, and Currency Exchange.

Since I originally worked on it they've done a few revisions, most especially with respect to the randomization algorithms and overall presentation/quality of artwork. Nevertheless much of my code remains intact for the three games that I worked on, and the games can be seen in action at the link above, which leads to the final product of the thesis.
