When we came to Technica we decided to try something new this year. We took a look at the challenges and agreed on making a financial education game. We created a first person game that talks about tips and things you should do when learning about financial literacy, we tried to make a new way of teaching, a fun interactive way of teaching. We began first with simple python but we wanted it to be more visual so we found the app called Ren'Py. Ren'Py is an app that runs on python but also simplifies it a bit to make the process smoother. We ran into a few programming issues with the code but after some debugging we were able to get through those issues. We are proud that we were able to get it to a state where it looks both fun and interesting to play. We learned many things along the way; we learned how to use python better, we learned how to use Ren'Py to make it more visual, lastly we learned how to work better as a team. We want to continue and make this into a real app for people to play and learn, I found myself wanting to play this game because how interesting it was and how it would help me save money, I hope others will feel the same way about our program too, we want to complete this when we find more time and make it a wonderful fun new way to learn! Maybe we could expand beyond just finance and simple interactions as well.
