Shoot ‘n Duck Game

admin — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 20:55:39 +0000

Shoot ‘n Duck is a Javascript game that has been fully integrated into WordPress. The game can be played on any page within WordPress without leaving or being redirected to a different page. The game has been integrated into the actual WordPress theme. It’s fully developed in Javascript using jQuery. Features like saving score and viewing highscores are using AJAX to connect to PHP scripts that read and write data from/to a MySQL database.

The Shoot ‘n Duck game runs cross-browser and is independent from browser resolution. It automatically adjusts stage size and position of dynamic objects. All game objects are fully dynamically, randomly positioned, moved and animated. The game changes, becoming more difficult, depending on how the player interacts with particular objects. To save and retrieve score Shoot ‘n Duck uses the WordPress API, fully integrating the backend into WordPress as well.

WordPress theme and game design has been developed and designed by myself as well.

To play the game, just hit the yellow “Shoot ‘n Duck” button on the header. Have fun!

3d model of the aerobatic plane “Extra 300″ in Red Bull Air Race livery.
Since this kind of plane is flying head-down all the time, I attached great importance to details at the bottom side as well.

Airclips Website

The Airclips website basically is a video sharing platform for aviation content.
It was built on top of WordPress, which was highly customized using various self-developed plugins.
In background a self-developed video manager is running, doing all kinds of magic.
The website allows users to submit links to videos, sorted by different topics. Airclips creates thumbnails, embed code and many more. Anything runs automatically. The video manager is using an own plugin system which allows to extend support for further video publishers very easily.
