Legends of Andor

• Demo
• Details

  This was a course project I completed with five others during my third year at McGill. We were instructed to implement a digital version of the board game Legends of Andor on a platform of our choosing. We chose to implement it on Android devices using Android Studio, Spring Boot, and IntelliJ.

  The acceptance criteria for the game were:

  • All core features of the game must be present, including free actions, player movement, monster fights, farmers, witches, princes, and runestones.
  • The game must be playable from start to finish without any crashes, errors, or unexpected behavior.
  • There must be a login/logout functionality for players.
  • The game must have the ability to save/load games.

  We used a client-server architecture to develop this game using SpringBoot for the server and Android Studio for the client. It was the largest-scale project I completed during my undergrad and it took us two semesters to complete. We used object-oriented programming principles and implemented several design patterns, including the Singleton, Flyweight, and Observer. We worked with threads, client and server validation, and Spring REST services. We also implemented additional features, including an in-game chat room, a character details page, how-to-play pages, and a live waiting room where players can view other players' status before the game begins. We also took the time to design a nice UI to make the game more enjoyable to play.
