On the Web: The End Is Mir
Skills: Flash 5, PHP, MySQL
In 2001, I had to build a game to demonstrate proficiency in Flash for Advanced Multimedia Journalism, one the required courses in my undergraduate journalism track at UNC. The game was part of a multimedia news package on the recently decommissioned Mir Space Station.
I used the basic requirements as a guide to build a much more complex Asteroids-like game, complete with two types of weaponry and a finite number of lives. I built the three-teir application with PHP, XML, MySQL and Flash 5.
