Agar Man

A fast-paced word game for Facebook canvas. Choose a difficulty and a time limit, then use the letters to make words - more points for rarer letters, and bonus points for longer words.

Installing

To run the code yourself, please create a Facebook application. The file config/php points to several required resources that you should configure (a MySQL or compatible PDO DB, and a Memcache pool); main.sql contains code to initialize the DB, which you should run before accessing the app.

Additional Resources

The app demonstrates serveral platform features, all tagged so they can be found easily in the code. Search for:
- TAG:AUTH to see how to implement Facebook authentication
- TAG:REQUESTS as an example of creating and managing requests
- TAG:FEED to see how to use the Feed dialog
- TAG:PAYMENTS for a sample implementation of Facebook Payments
- TAG:OFFERS to learn about letting users earn your game's virtual currency
- TAG:ACHIEVEMENTS and TAG:SCORES for those APIs
The repo contains a Keynote slide deck from the Facebook World Hack based on Agar Man, WorldHackGames.key
You can see any errors Facebook returns by appending a "debug=1" to the url of the app.
