Lyrical Kombat Open Beta

I developed a web-based front end for a game, using HTML5, CSS3, Javascript and jQuery, and a bespoke back-end using node.js. The back-end enables persistent bi-directional client-server connections, which are needed for an instant chat user interface. A separate 'poetry analysis engine' is accessed through a REST API. This module provides the text analysis functions needed to determine words that rhyme.


The Lyrical Kombat Open Beta was a web game where players battle in rhymed verse to outwit their opponent. A player chooses a computer opponent from a selection of famous characters. The player that achieves the most end-of-line rhyming words within 3 minutes wins. The game went on to be redeveloped in the alternative form of mobile apps for iOS and Android platforms.

COUNTO12

COUNTO12 was a digital clock and countdown timer to the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games and was commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery to be part of their Road to 2012 exhibition. This was a team development effort. My contribution involved technical design, programming and user documentation. The app was initially developed in Flash as an installable desktop screensaver with versions for Mac and PC. I later reworked the code in Javascript to make a web version of the app.


COUNTO12 comprises over 500 photographic portraits of people living, working and studying in the five Olympic host boroughs of Greenwich, Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Newham and Waltham Forest. It was a team project with collaborators Yujin Yun, Christina Katsantoni, Ewa Balazinska, Stephen Pho and Goldsmiths University of London.

The Wild Kingdoms

A Wordpress site, with development led by The Wild Kingdoms writer Tunde Olatunji.  My contribution was to provide technical advice, make bespoke code amendments to the 'Pinboard' theme, and provide a server facility to host the site. The website contains parts of the story, illustrations, text and sounds from the first book in the series, The Battle of the Wordsmiths. The site was designed so that the story can be 'explored' as opposed to 'read'.


The Wild Kingdoms is a series of stories set in a world of divine spirits, humankind and animals. It is based on the mythology and legend of Nigeria's Yoruba people. During its 14-year development, The Wild Kingdoms was re-imagined as musical theatre, an Android and iPad game, a short film and a physical card game.

OlatunjiWorld

OlatunjiWorld was a French digital media company that created stories as games, e-books, music, live performance and clothing. I developed the company's first website as a multi-lingual site, initially in English and French, but with support for other languages. I used PHP, HTML and CSS.


For OlatunjiWorld, stories can be played, seen, heard and touched. They are designed to work with tablets, smartphones, PCs and in theatres and schools.

OlatunjiWorld's head office was in Paris and production carried out through an international team based in France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Finland.

The Wild Kingdoms Elements Game

This simple single-player game is a variation of the theme of rock-paper-scissors and is based on the Wild Kingdoms, a set of epic stories inspired by Yoruba culture. In developing this game I worked with a small team of illustrators, coders and producer Tunde Olatunji. I developed the game using Adobe Flash and Actionscript to control animation and game logic. iPad and Android versions of the game were later developed by other studios.
