Portfolio 2 (Hackathon)

Our team was doing challenge statement: SHARING ECONOMY MEETS EDUCATION. 

We decided to make a forum for students and teachers of Ngee Ann Poly to ask and set up extra classes. 

During hackathon, I did the Front-end of the website as well as bootstrap. I tidy up the alignments and make sure the website pages looks consistent and I made the layout for before signing in and after signing in so every page has the same nav menu. I did the view, DAL for both student and teacher registration pages.  

I also helped out with the delete post function, particularly the view. So the delete button appears next to the thread, but only if the user is the owner of the thread.

Our progression by far

Our topic of the game is mainly wiring and circuits

and I and helping out on the story, here is part of the story: 

The player was trying to find her pet cat , Mr Puffles, that ran into a abandoned mine. but was met with a monster which made her resort to a drastic solution to escape the monster. Which lead her to the lower levels of the mines. To escape, she has to complete unprecedented task.

Starting Making Game demo

We are now starting to make the game using Hao Che’s RPG maker, trying to implement the bolder/blockade event.

Game idea

The game that we plan to make will teach science (Physics, Chemistry and Biology).

The game location will be in a Mine Shaft

Events that will happened in the mine shaft: bolder/blockade [solution : moment(phy), dissolve using right solvent(chem)...so far

items in the mine shaft: pickaxe, blast furnace for iron (cacium carbonate: coke) minerals(coal, impure iron ore, limestone, copper) wire-making machine (need copper)...so far

haven’t figure a story yet.

goal of the player is to survive and find a way out

My Research so far...

Things that makes an educational game enjoyable:

-The correct answer should not be forced, allow players to choose wrongly and see the outcome of their error. allowing them to learn from their mistakes.

-Able to play and learn together with their peers. 

-Don’t make task and questions in game mundane and repetitive

-(if possible) Allow players to accomplish task in more than one way

-Puzzles hard enough or anything that requires thinking creatively

-Games that mimic real life, one example: make random event happen, having the element of uncertainty
