Type This: Planetary Defense

My first foray into games for Facebook, this simple debut example still

exemplifies my approach to the design of entertainment and games: It not

only entertained, but also improved the player's typing speed.

Taking the form of a “3D space shooter on rails”, players typed character

sequences to launch torpedoes at asteroids bent on earth's destruction.

Features included user score tracking, last-level memory and high scores.

Components

Client - Flash / ActionScript 3 / Flex Framework / Javascript

Server - Perl, some PHP for Facebook API
