Myth Matching Game
Client: Class Assignment
Software: Flash (ver. 8)
Completion Date: March 2008
Involvement Level: Designer / Programmer

The Challenge:

Develop an idea for a matching game.

The Solution

While the project was only focused on learning how to evaluate a "hit test" process within Actionscript, I felt that in order to make the game interesting I should develop something that was intellectually challenging as well as fulfilling the needs of the project.

Since mythology has always been an interest of mine, this seemed a reasonable subject for a game. The three levels involve a certain level of thought - even on the easy level - because I made sure that most of the gods listed were not the more "well known" of the assorted pantheons found here.
