My Contributions
Early in the process, we spent a lot of time iterating on different designs. I even implemented a networked prototype of a completely different social communication game. But once we settled on this concept, I got to work implementing a class hierarchy for the card and event systems focused on designer accessibility. Decktatorship involved a lot of networking, so as the lead programmer, I undertook the effort to make it robust. This involved both server and client side programming. Ultimately, the game lacked some polish and a couple of features that we were excited about, but it was a novel and enjoyable experience.
