We are creating the prototype for a Massively Multiplayer Online game (MMO). The idea behind it is that the players will move about the game area collecting coins, and after a minute the player with the highest score will be declared the winner. The players scores will then be uploaded to a database under their usernames and the highest scores will be displayed on a scoreboard.
For this project we are planning to make use of a range of software for both the front and back-end of the game and adjoining website. For the front-end we will be using HTML5, CSS and javascript, and for the back-end we will be using MySQL, PHP, AJAX and JSON however this is subject to change as the project enters the later stages of development.
