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.
