Landlords: A Multiplayer Monopolization Game for the Android OS

Tyler Kerry



ABSTRACT

Mobile phones may have existed for several decades now, but never have they provided us with the technology they provide today. This project intends to examine the pros and cons of developing for the Android OS, while attempting to build a distributed client-server architecture, as well as an outline-tracing solution to locate buildings on Google Maps. It will make use of many technologies such as Android, Google Maps, GPS, JSON, Restlet, and SQLite. The client and server model demonstrates considerable success in a first attempt at the Android architecture, and the outline-tracing algorithm demonstrated here has been shown to be very successful. We will discuss the software design, choices, technologies, and results of this project while gaining insight into developing for the mobile world.
