Technical Details
This game was constructed using the the MapTron 1022 interactive map. The solution operates on the client side once the page and resources have downloaded from the server. There is no client (browser) to server interaction during game time. The page loads along with JavaScript data and functions used to control the game. Clicking on a state calls on a JavaScript function coloring the state either red or green by updating the map XML. The map is updated every time a state is clicked with XML sent from JavaScript.
 
Download
