Band Together

An online multiplayer game I coded using the p5.party library, a developing library for p5.js multiplayer games

Project Details

I took a class the last semester of my graduate school experience to learn about the p5.party library and strengthen my creative JavaScript skills. My team members and I worked on this multiplayer puzzle game that mimics an in-person escape room, with clues, interactive elements, and a timer. I was the technical lead and did most of the coding for this project.

You can find the GitHub project page HERE and play the game for yourself HERE.

the start screen seen by players in game

This is the first screen seen by players in the game, controlled by the host to click to start.

8-bit style map that I created for the game, modeled after an auditorium

I initially used the software Tiled to create a map layout for this game, and then brought that into Procreate to make it my own. Following the theme of music, the map is meant to be an auditorium.

This second clue in the game was designed by me and written to point to the first of the musical clues within the game.

screen that appears when the timer runs out before the puzzle is completely solved

This screen appears when the timer in the bottom left of the screen, centered on the host's instance of the game, runs out before the team has solved all the clues to escape.
