React Native Review

I designed and developed this app as a way to help new developers coming to React Native to test their knowledge. The app is based around quizing the user on knowledge that an entry level developer for React Native should have. Over the years in this industry I've lead/participated in hundreds of interviews and found that having a base expectation to test against has been very useful in vetting potential candidates.

GROL Game Image

Gladiator: Rise of Legends

Gladiator: Rise of Legends is a Player vs Player game where you take on the role of a Gladiator and fight other within the Arena. You develop your character over time, building their equipment and skills specific to your own fighting style and then compete for awards against other players. Players can join others within a ludus (Clan/Guild) or build their own story alone. The game has over 15,000 players currently and continues to grow.

I designed and developed the game with the very talented Steve Nedley doing the character art. The current game is written in ActionScript 3.0, with a PHP backend using AMFPHP and the database in MySQL. We are in the process of GROL 2.0, being written in React Native, Three.js, with Firebase and an integrated PHP/JSON backend.
