ABSTRACT
We discuss a two part assignment sequence used in a third year Web Programming course. The assignment has students build a 2D web based battle royale game. They exercise use of HTML5, CSS, Restful API, React, Ajax, Node, Web Sockets, advanced Javascript, JQuery, mobile web and a persistent back end (postgresql). A competitive, open ended aspect to the assignment is also discussed. We outline and demonstrate the game, the assignments and its pedagogical value in a third year Web Development course. The assignment itself as well as associated starter code can be found at http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~arnold/research/iticse2022/
