Mindprobe On-Line

USA Network, On-Line Services, 1997

Project Description: I wrote a Java applet where people can participate in a synchronous chat environment while at the same time competing in a trivia game. I also wrote the game server that controls the game flow, timing and keeps score for all the clients on the network and picks a winner.

 

This was a collaboration with Sharleen Smith, Jamie Biggar, Nancy Lewis and Tracy White.

Technical Notes:  The client was written as a Java applet and the game control using Macromedia Director/Lingo.  The scorekeeping was written in CGI/Perl.
