on Arcana Arcade as Programmer

Arcana Arcade is a physics-based, player-vs-player touchtable experience where players use their fingers to draw out symbols pertaining to spells, and then fling those spells to cast them onto the board. Players start by selecting which faction they will battle as, with each faction controlling two elements: Fire & Lightning, and Ice & Wind. These spells can be cast to: damage the opponent player, set up defenses, or create special effects. Players will try to deal as much damage during their playtime in order to defeat their opponent.
