Our second assignment is to design a game. It was the group assignment. I was totally unknown with this assignment I had no idea what to do and how to do. I asked my teacher for the group and I got to participate a group with some classmate according to my teacher direction. After joining a group I came to know that our group is going to make a game called “share market game”. I didn’t have any idea what type of game was that. One of my member in our group explained me what we have to do and gave me some links http://www.asx.com.au/investor/education/games/index.htm where we can get the information. My first task was to go through that link.

I went through that link and came to know how this game works. It was exactly like a real world share market. The basic logic on this game was that every player will get a sum of virtual money and they have to invest this money buying and selling shares 1in different companies. And a player who would be able to gather maximum sum of money will be the winner. This game is played on mobile basis every transaction is done through mobile phone.

I gather some information through that link and I search some key information like how this game work and what are the terms and conditions. But my group was focusing on the technologies. So I was told to find some technologies. I had no idea what technology to use so I went through the posting from my other group members and tried to find some information regarding that.


I tried to find about WAP and search on google. I went through this site www.webopedia.com/ then I came to know that WAP is a protocol used for the handheld devise and I came to know about is properties and why it is good for our game.

I tried to find some information about the apache server. I went through wikipedia first to get the rough idea about it then I went for google search and gather much information I went through few links like www.apachecorp.com, httpd.apache.org,
I came to know lot about this server through those links but didn’t find any appropriate information for our game.

I thought to find some security mechanism for the game. So I went through thorough research about the security mechanism in google. I got the idea to use cryptography for our game. I search in different web sites and gather some information about it.
I also came through the security awareness for the player.

I keep on reading the posting by my group members and try searching regarding that.
