World Quest

This blog is mostly going to be about my adventures in programing my own game called World Quest. Currently my plan is to break the project in two pieces (on the programming side): a library that contains most of the game mechanics; and a GUI frontend which will be 2D for now as I don't know any 3D yet. I have chosen to write the game in Java, but it may get ported to C# in the future.

The main goal of this project is the use of advanced Object Oriented programming and data structures when possible, and convincing myself that I can when I think otherwise. Other potential goals are multiplayer (possibly mmo-like), 3D interface, and an interface from mobile phones. This is as much of a learning experience as it is coding a game.

After I get a substantial portion written and prove to myself that I will not just abandon it, I plan to open source the code. In the mean time if you would like to help please contact me and you can be come a member of the World Quest team.
