Preamble

Online video gaming sector is currently a multi-billion dollar industry. It is booming and is expected to keep growing. In the last two years many people around the world have resorted to online gaming to escape the boredom and isolation of COVID-19 lockdowns. It not only helped them to entertain themselves but also maintain their social connections.

Objective

Develop a multiplayer video game to be played using smartphones. Each player is assumed to have separate smartphone to play this game.

Partial Specifications

Develop the game in a suitable programming environment/platform.

Suggested Approach

* Investigate literature/information on requirements of
such an application.
* Investigate programming environments/platforms to build the game.
