WWE Rocker
2008
WWE Rocker is a flash game created for the WWE Music Group and Columbia Records. Featuring wrestlers from the ECW show, the game pits you against them on 14 levels featuring each wrestlers’ entrance music. The object of the game is to time key-presses with the passing of the colored chairs over the “hit” point.
Besides the application as a whole, development included creating the game logic as well as the design of the effects and some audio production. The challenges in this project included figuring out an effective way to trap multiple key-presses at once without firing an event for each key and attempting to find workarounds for Firefox and Safari not notifying flash objects that they’ve lost keyboard focus (Event.DEACTIVATE does not work!) on Mac.
