– University of Arkansas Senior Honors Thesis Project

Pond is a mobile game app built for Windows Phone 7.  Beginning as a class project for a graduate mobile computing course at the University of Arkansas, it evolved into becoming my senior honors thesis.  From source code to artwork, everything was built solely by me without the aid of outside libraries or engines.

​

(Recently I've been working on a Unity port of the project. I'd like to expand the base game and deploy it to iOS and Android. Fingers crossed!)

Pond merges simplicity with depth.  It is accessible to anyone while also providing challenge to those who seek the highest scores.



Simply tap anywhere on the screen to create ripples which can be used to defeat enemies.  By clearing the screen in an effective and efficient manner, players can advance to higher difficulty levels.  Go as far as you can and compare your best scores with your friends!
