Experiment
Country Hopping
A game to connect as many neighbouring countries as possible.
This was my entry for the 2012 10k Apart competition, where the challenge is to build a little standalone website/app that is no more than 10kb in size. I wrote a blog post about this project, as it was awarded a notable mention.
I created a little game called Country Hopping where the aim is to link as many bordering countries as possible before running out of neighbours or making a mistake. You get three lives, but if the last country picked has no neighbour left, you lose no matter what.
Beside the coding challenge, it was also fun to think about how to organise all the elements that need to be present on the screen to play the game. I particularly wanted the game to be easy to play on a mobile device.
