Projects

2008-2009 MonkeyRisk

MonkeyRisk is a browser-based implementation of the classic stategic board game RISK! The game is played in real time with a JavaScript front-end interacting with the PHP/MySQL server-side game engine. Click here to join in the quest for world domination!

2007-2008 Caffeine & Photosaic

During Fall '07, we built a 'version 2.0' of the web-end of Caffeine, just as a fun little project to get the ball rolling and to play around with the Django web framework (and to learn some python!) We then moved on to create an AJAX-ey photo mosaic generator. We cleverly called this Photosaic.

2006-2007 WebPrint

WebPrint was a system which allowed you to find a person's "footprint" on the Internet. A system was devised to allow a user to enter in a person's name, and then any and all data that could be found about the person was parsed and displayed. It mostly remained a cool idea; we did manage to get two modules working: one for Myspace, and one for UIUC's PH.

2005-2006 ChimpOS

ChimpOS was an emulated operating system in a browser. Essentially, we built a filesystem using PHP and a MySQL database, and allowed users to register, and login and see a "desktop", complete with icons to launch applications, or change settings such as their wallpaper. We completed three different skins: Windows XP, Fluxbox, and OSX (including the dock!). The front-end was all done with javascript to do neat effects (specifically, the OSX dock).
