Daily Puzzle is an original mobile service developed in collaboration
with internationally reknowned Puzzle Master Scott Kim. Three new brainteaser
puzzles become available every day for players to answer. Answers
are submitted to a server that tracks both individual performance statistics
and that of the overall player community.
I was closely involved with the development of this service from conception
to implementation, from brainstorming on community participation features,
to defining a format and tool for puzzle authoring, and finally delivering
the shipping J2ME client application.
The client code significantly improves upon
the custom UI framework I developed for
FOX Sports Mobile
to provide a
consistently themed look and feel throughout the entire application even
across different handsets.
