Vivikin: Digital Creatures
A prototype for a virtual pet browser game that I solo developed.
The Challenge
This was an ambitios project for me. The goal was to make a browser pet game like unto neopets or digimon. As one of my earliest projects I ran into many roadblocks and pitfalls. The largest of which was getting the formatting to work on mobile, and getting the bejeweled style matching game to work.
The Solution
It took a while to wrap my head around things. I learned the differences between CSS's various measuring units such as px, %, em, rem, vh, and vw. Gaining that understanding is what allowed me to build flexible site elements that adapt and respond to various screen sizes.
The Results
The Game is now in a function state and you can go play it now. Its very basic at the moment, but I plan to go back and keep adding new features like a worldmap, exploration, and community activities.
