For Xadra LSS, a Silicon Valley-based developer of multi-player entertainment server software, I developed the FFDK (Flash Fortress Development Kit) and a demo application. The FFDK was aimed at facilitating the development of Flash-based clients that use the Fortress server developed by Xadra. The demo application was meant to demonstrate the server and development kit. I also provided them with a new logo and other promotion artwork.

FFDK - Flash Fortress Development Kit

The Fortress Flash Development Kit (FFDK) is a toolkit for developing multi-user Flash-based applications that use the Fortress server. This kit's main asset is an object-oriented ActionScript framework that encapsulates the client-server interaction details. The kit also included a set of sample applications, including a fully operational multi-player Reversi game, and detailed documentation.

This demo application allowed users to log in, browse the various chat rooms, and play the multi-player Reversi game.
