Abstract

Games as Facebook applications have proliferated once the platform opened freely to developers. Paper-and-pencil games are inherently social in nature and typically simplistic yet challenging, and are thus well-suited to implementation on such the Facebook platform. With inspiration drawn from existing Facebook game applica-tions, the aim of this project is to convert the paper-and-pencil game known as "Trace Race" into an online social game deployed on Facebook. Current web technologies, including Flash and ActionScript, MySQL and PHP, and Facebook Markup Language (FBML) and Facebook JavaScript (FBJS) will be used to develop the game features. A clean and usable design is desired to promote the enjoyment of the game as the overarching goal.
