We have all known WordPress as a blogging platform. We have seen it emerge into a Content Management System.
But building interactive games? Can it do that? Emphatically YES!
This session will dive into the concept of using WordPress as the data-handling backbone of an online interactive game scenario.
Especially with the emergence of Custom Content Types, WordPress has become more and more available and accessible as a general data-storage system and has all the raw materials that can go into building the foundation of an interactive game.
In this presentation, we will demonstrate how game logic can sit on top of the WordPress platform and send data to and from the WordPress system resulting in an interactive gaming experience.
We will be using a Javascript game engine, WordPress Custom Posts and WordPress User information within the game experience, and we will look to bring the game to ‘life’ with some basic Ajax.
Although we will be getting into some technical matter, this presentation will be enjoyed by anybody who loves to play.
