Overview
This was a personal app I designed and developed. The User controls a boat in the ocean by tilting the device right or left. The object of the game is to rescue as many ducks as you can while dodging the incoming missles. The User can also gain additional points by touching the screen and popping the floating bubbles.
Additionally, the game saves local and online high scores. I had to build a backend php driven database for the app to connect to. The User chooses to share their scores on the app and it pushes their scores online, shuffles the scores into the correct placement, then sends the User and the database the updated high score listing. If a User is able to obtain the 1st place scoring position, the twitter account @CaptDuckie sends a tweet to inform the world. I used Twitter APIs in connection with PHP to accomplish this.
