Chaotic Java

It’s been a while, and some might be wondering what I’ve been up to.

Well, I have to say that work has been a bit tiring for sure; had many stressful deadlines for a long time now and while I never stopped having ideas for the Chaotic Java and never stopped writing them down, making code samples and unit tests for them, I did never find the time to make those final touches that make a post here something to be proud of.

(at least, something I could be proud of)

At the same time, I’ve started working on a board game for the iOS platform, called Firewall. I know, I know – “iOS? It’s not in Java! Use Android!”.. But for those who know me or keep up with this blog, it won’t be much of a surprise. I thought I’d make my first post in a while about this game, in fact, both because I think it’s an interesting game and because it’s free, and I know everyone love free stuff!

The game is a turn based board game for two players. It starts off as most board games do: each player has units, each unit has its own set of rules such as move forward, get a point when taking another unit etc. However, during the game players can change the core rules of the game by placing combinations of cards they draw in each turn, changing the balance of power not by moving their units but also by changing the meaning of the units as the game progresses!

I think it’s an interesting concept, even if I may say so myself. But there’s more to be done to make this game complete. And that’s why I ask you: go to the Firewall page, and see if you can do something to help.

Thanks a lot!
