King of the Frogs is a multiplayer game where players call-in and use their phone's number pad to control their frog's tongue. Each player is assigned a frog upon dialing in, and using the keys 1-9, control the tongue to catch & eat flies. The first one to reach the top by eating flies wins!

Audience
Anyone with a phone!

Implementation
The game mechanics & animations are coded with Processing. The phone interaction is made possible through an Asterisk dialplan hosted on a server. Asterisk and Processing are connected through the Tinyphone library, allowing the keypresses on the phone to control the frogs in the Processing sketch.
