As we discussed in class, the picture on the right is how the South America section of the geography learning game would look like. The users get 30secs to memorise all the names of the countries and where they're located. Then...
The picture below will be presented to the user where he/she has to match the names of the coutries with their flags using processor.


If their answer is right or wrong, the game should give the user an indication by highlighting the countrys' map.






The picture below on the left represents how the map should look like when there's a right and the one on the right when there's a wrong answer:




This is just the beginning, more needs to be added...

Coursework - Game Plan

So our meeeting in the lab went quite well and we have decided upon an idea which we had considered the previous week. We had a number of interesting proposals set forward but in the end we choose the Tangible User Geography Quiz Map as we collectively felt that it had a good balance of fun, stimulating challenge and educational value.
The game involves getting a child (or children) to match the name of country to a silhouette of a geographical region on a map which is unnamed. The game would provide an initial timed period during which the child is given the opportunity learn the map regions and also recognise the outlines of borders. The game would contain  incremental scoring as well as controls to ensure that naming of the set of unknown regions would have to be completed within a designated amount of time.We are also interested in looking at the possibility of providing the game with dual or multi-player optionality. There are other aspects of the game's inplementation which we will also need to consider in more depth to make sure that we use the functionality of both reactivision and processing software maximally.
