Zombies on Campus Our project is to make a mobile application to educate students on potential health professional careers, and to promote the University of Alberta (UofA). To this end, our app will apply principles of gamification to create a game based app called Zombies on Campus. This android and iOS app will be used by mostly high school students that are enrolled in the course Career And Life Management (CALM) in Alberta, as a way of exploring and learning about a variety of careers and occupations in health sciences. This will also help the users, some which are prospective students, become more familiar with the UofA campus.
Purpose Of Project: Inform high school students about careers in Health Sciences/Public Health. Promote the University of Alberta as an educational institute. Familiarize potential University of Alberta students with the university's campus and the specific buildings related to Health Sciences.
Look And Feel: Cartoonish and humorous characters Overall design inspired by games such as Plants Vs. Zombies Intent to keep user's interest within a high school audience. Zombie theme map while still resembling the Campus.
Features: 1. Campus map intractable through both touchscreen and gps location 2. 2D Platform Zombie-themed mini-game for gamification of experience 3. iOS and Android releases 4. Videos related to each healthcare profession 5. Ability to follow and track users progress 6. High Score Leaderboards
Project Overview: When a user starts a new game, they will be given a brief exposition introducing the plot and game. The user will then be free to explore the interactive campus map through either the touch screen, or the users gps position. From the campus map the user will be able to explore different buildings. Inside of each building will be a video of the related healthcare profession, along with some fun facts and a mini-game.
Project Overview: The mini-game will be a 2D platformer where the user must capture a zombie. The mini- game will serve to keep the users attention, as well as adding a level of gamification to the app. After the zombie has been captured, the user will receive more plot exposition, and directions to find the next health profession related zombie. This will continue until the user captures all of the zombies and beats the game.
