School project - BoxManager

Context

This project was designed to help us develop our “designer’s mindset.”
The goal was to create a Sokoban-like puzzle game with a unique twist, built primarily in JavaScript and playable on mobile via the web.

The project was divided into two main phases:

• A few weeks dedicated to game and level design (GD & LD)
• Followed by the programming phase

We were a team of three working together.

Tech

• Web - Engine
• Javascript, Html, CSS - Language
• SVN - Versioning

My Work

Design: I created three levels and built our paper prototype using real wooden blocks, turning it into a physical board game version for playtesting.

Programming:

• Implemented the Astart pathfinding system for character movement
• Developed the Undo/Redo system
• Worked on the sound system

Conclusion

The biggest lesson I took from this project was working on pathfinding.
It was my first experience tackling a complex algorithm, and it gave me a strong appreciation for how such systems bring logic and life to gameplay.
