A first for the magazine

For the very first communication campaign of the magazine, 148 proposes to put the community of Numériques to the test by challenging their powers of observation with images from geek and high-tech culture, from yesterday and today. With Watcheur, we rediscover a well-known game, that of the 7 differences… reimagined in the style of 148!

Strategic and technical skills required

In order to establish this game in a simple and accessible way, it is necessary to find a concept familiar to everyone (the game of differences) adaptable to the client's universe. The most intense part of the project is to design all the gameplay, game interfaces, general ergonomics, as well as consider compatibility with mobile devices.


The Planner Strat's Word

“The real challenge of this project was to imagine a game that is both fun and addictive while remaining simple in its design and execution. We envisioned several concepts with the goal of remaining consistent with the DNA of Les Numériques, thus in a geeky, high-tech, and retro gaming spirit.
The idea of the 7 differences game was rather simple yet effective, the very concept of the game being somewhat retro, it was an opportunity to bring it up to date. We especially wanted to take this opportunity to highlight a whole culture specific to the Les Numériques community and propose a challenge worthy of them ;)”

The Developer's Word

“For this project, we decided to use the latest web technologies and create an architecture from scratch to deliver a single-page web game, entirely managed in JavaScript. For the architecture, we used the class system of ECMAScript6 (and BabelJS for compatibility) to create a model for the game, entirely written in vanilla JS. For the animations, we used CSS3, structured in BEM, with SASS.
The game uses a custom PHP API to receive information (games, scores, players...). We used GulpJS to streamline our workflow and keep our code clean and readable. As a result, the game feels smooth and loads very quickly!”
