EXSIM - ECommerce Simulator Online Multiplayer
EXSIM is a web-based multiplayer e-commerce business simulator where players build and manage virtual online stores.
Inspired by Alibaba’s GDTsim, players experiment with pricing, marketing, and product strategy in a shared simulated marketplace to grow their businesses and compete with others.
I took part in the early development of database integration and helped establish the initial proof of concept for the platform. This involved setting up the core data structures and ensuring the system could reliably store and retrieve simulation data for multiplayer interactions.
In the later stages of EXSIM, my responsibility focused on session management, particularly implementing cron-based scheduling logic to control timed events and gameplay cycles. This work required close collaboration with another programmer to ensure synchronization between backend processes and the game’s simulation flow.
