Inspiration

After being isolated for months, we have all had our shared experiences with family members struggling in one way or another from the affects of the current world. We thought and worried about those directly affected by the pandemic by having to take care of their sick family. Some people like us worry what if our grandparents or family get Covid. This app helps us to practice, remember, and keep up to date with best practices not only for us but for them. So that if the time comes we are ready.

What it does

This application guides our users through the delicate nature of nurturing our beloved family members through this unprecedented time. By using accurate simulations with nostalgic inspirations we combined a household classic with a now modern reality. You can put your selves in the shoes of the totally possible and with a little humor get the basics and important practices when it comes to taking care of your family member during the pandemic.

How We built it

We used flutter in combination with android studio to build it.

Challenges We ran into

We had to study and learn mobile development and the flutter framework.

Accomplishments that We are proud of

Learning how to make a mobile game within the time constraints of a hackathon. Learning how to develop using Flutter with no prior experience.

What We learned

flutter, android development, mobile game concepts

What's next for Caretaker Simulator 2020

Adding smoother animations, and adding a scheduler function so that it can also be used as a gamified scheduler for helping take care of those in our lives who may be at risk. we also plan to expand the feature set and add other intractables to further the interactivity of our Covagotchis.
