The rising surge in COVID cases across the US especially in colleges

What it does

It requires the user to navigate from starting point to ending point within a maze while avoiding being in close contact with other people. Additionally, to account for the fact that wearing a mask reduces the possibility of getting COVID, the distance required between the user and a masked person is less than the distance required with an unmasked person.

How we built it

We used the p5.js library to implement the game using their features such as drawing shapes, loading images, and moving objects. We additionally used some HTML and CSS. We glitch to collaborate.

Challenges we ran into

  • Implementing p5 - Displaying images, registering collisions
  • Collaborating online
  • Making the game fun/challenge while still being relevant to covid

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • First time coding a game
  • Being able to merge our gaming and coding interests

What we learned

  • How to use p5.js
  • How to collaborate online

What's next for Among COVID

  • More levels with varying difficulties and settings
  • Improving graphics, adding sound
  • Including pop-ups with covid information
