Facebook Application Development: Concepts and Example Using the PMOG Web Application

Abstract

Over the summer, I worked with GameLayers Inc. on their Passively Multiplayer Online Game or PMOG project. Initially I was to develop· a Facebook PMOG application and continue work with them. However, the Facebook application ended up being much more complicated than originally anticipated. I spent much of my tune becoming familiarized with the PMOG application code, the Facebook Application Programming Interface (API), Ruby on Rails, and the plugins that interfaced Ruby on Rails with Facebook, as I was not familiar with any of them previously. Unfortunately upon completion of the application at the end of the summer, the Facebook Platform underwent a major update, breaking many features of the application. While I worked with GameLayers Inc, I was the sole developer of this application and have yet to have time to go and revamp it to get it working again
