War Path

Inspiration

I wanted to build a game that incorporated newly acquired skills for ISP.

What it does

This is a game of strategy where the user is in charge of an army. The user chooses the direction that the army moves and at each direction choice, there is a group of enemy soldiers. The user then chooses how many soldiers to fight with. There is a randomized modifier added to the battle party so it is possible for a smaller party to win a battle, it just has a smaller chance.

How I built it

This is an Alexa hosted skill written in javascript. It utilizes ISP for a one time purchase as well as consumables.

Challenges I ran into

I have previously written a skill that had consumables, but have not done a one time purchase skill. It was interesting to see how they can be implemented.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I am proud of the time frame it took to build the game. It was done over the course of a few weeks.

What I learned

I learned how to implement one time purchase ISP.

What's next for War Path

I would like to modify the skill to store personal high score and possible create a public leader board.
