AccessArcade

Inclusive Games so that everyone can play!

Inspiration

People with no disabilities play many online games without ever wondering how other people who are disabled play if they even do. We thought this idea of making online games for people who can’t play like the majority would be very helpful for them. Maybe if ideas like these keep getting implemented, people all over the world would be playing many games whether disabled or not.

What it does

Our app, for now, lets people without hands play online games. First, the user register or login (if they already have an account). Then, they will see a dashboard, profile, settings, and, best of all, games. So far, we have made a square soar and a maze escape in which people without hands can play with their nose. For example, in square soar, the user can go up or down to control the bird (and in the process do squats). Also, in the maze escape, the user can move their nose in the direction they want to go to complete the maze.

How we built it

We used python, pygame, streamlit, tensorflow, opencv-python, and numpy.

Challenges we ran into

There were many errors we ran into in which sometimes we had to restart our work and since python is very sensitive, sometimes the error would be just the line isn’t indented. GitHub deployment caused an error message that we can't resolve, but the video already shows the app. We already emailed the code just in case.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We created games on the app in code which is something we never thought we could do.

What we learned

We learned how to make games on an app using python.

What's next for AccessArcade

Next for AccessArcade:

Different sections with different detections for different disabilities (ex. Nose detection, hand detection, etc.)
More games and levels
Add a secure database to save the level where the user stopped on
Add more tools under the profile and settings
Make the design look better and make sure it is a responsive design so that it would fit on any device
And more…
