My contributions to this project were largely stylistic in terms of how the game should look and feel, in addition to determining what menus or features would be required. As a result, I was the member responsible for coding the front-end features such as:

• • Main Menu

    • • Animated game title

      • Connecting as a new user requires valid username, IP, and server port

  • Lobby List

    • • Displays all active lobbies with relevant status information such as player count

      • Users can hover over a lobby to see joined players

      • Full lobbies cannot be joined

      • Ability to create a new lobby

  • Game Screen

    • • Live scoreboard on left side where players in first, second, and third have names respectively highlighted in gold, silver, and bronze

      • As a user types a word, the word highlights in red when there is a typo and yellow otherwise

Full credit goes to my teammates for developing the game logic and networking code, with a little bit of effort on my end to help integrate the front and back end.

The source code can be viewed on GitHub.

• Java for game, threading, and networking logic

• JavaFX for graphical user interface
