ARCHIVED (to keep a log of my development journey)

Fantasy-chaching is an adventure game using geolocation and Google Maps APIs. It is inspired by geocaching, Pokemon GO, and roguelike video games. It will allow players to go on a virtual/physical adventure around Lexington, KY.

Users can:

• Log in
• Create Character
• Save Session
• Discover Treasure around the city
• Collect Treasure around the city
• Leave items, notes around the city for other users to discover
• Discover Monsters
• Enter into Combat with Monsters
• Interact with NPCs
• Buy and Sell treasure from NPCs

I am developing this game for two reasons, to have fun and practice web development.

I love gaming, programming, walking, and creativity. Developing fantasy-caching is a great blend of all these things. My hope is to develop a game that allows others the experience of adventure where they live.

I recently completed a software development bootcamp training in Lexington, KY (Awesome Inc). There I learned the development process from the ground up and am now a full-stack developer. This was a full-time program (50 hrs/wk) and lasted 12 weeks. In that time we learned all we need to take a project from back to front. I enjoyed every minute of that experience and am eager to continue my learning through personal projects.

Here is a list of tools I hope to use while developing Fantasy-caching

Front End

• Javascript
• AngularJS
• Google Materialize

Back End

• PHP
• Laravel

I would like to fantasy-caching to be mobile freindly and scalable. Although I like the idea of single-session games, I want to deploy a database that will keep track of user information (username, password, high scores, adventure notes).

Let me know what you think! I am open to questions, ideas and advice.
