Hotwheels® Finish Line™

Overview

Finish Line is a turn-based 2-player card game. Using ElectroServer, this surprisingly addictive game of strategy supports thousands of simultaneous users.

The Experience

Players arrive at the game where they read the instructions and then choose to start the game. They are then matched with the next available player. With the Hot Wheels registration system in place players see the avatar of their opponent as they play. Finish Line is a unique card game where the cards that you play help move your car toward a finish line. The first car to cross the finish line wins.

Solution

This game uses a server-side ActionScript plugin for player matching, and one to handle the custom card game logic. With the use of server-side plugins the developer was able to easily manage the game state to determine a winner, restart a game, or stop the game if a player leaves.
