Chloris

Collecting a coin
Finding a friend

Inspiration

Drawing inspiration from released 2D & 3D casual games, our team decided to make a fun and engaging game that promotes physical activity as well.

What it does

Chloris encourages a healthy lifestyle in users by making physical activity entertaining.

How we built it

We built Chloris using Unity, C#, and Android SDK

Challenges we ran into

The challenges we faced included:

Downloading and installing Unity
Avoiding and Handling merge conflicts while using git
Coding a precise pedometer

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Despite the huge learning curve with Unity and Android SDK, we are pleased with the knowledge we gained as it has provided a wonderful learning experience.
We successfully implemented a pedometer.
We established cross-platform compatibility with Android and IOS.

What we learned

Being that it was all of our first time making a game, we established a basic foundation for development with Unity. This includes designing a scrollable background, effective use of sprites, random generation of user collectible coins, and deployment to the Android & IOS platform.

What's next for Chloris

In the future we would want to accomplish the following:

Produce our own assets
Improve overall game performance
Create a sand box environment to allow users to show off what they have collected
Improve the pedometer with GPS
Implement In-app purchases with collected coins
Avatar customisation

Electric City Hacks

Created by

I worked on the game conversion from the Android to the IOS platform and also assisted with the front end development. As Electric City hacks is my first hackathon ever, I will say it was quite challenging but overall I had a memorable experience while learning how to use Unity and Xcode.

My goal is to keep developing applications that will apply problem solving technologies to help make a difference in peoples lives.
I worked on the front end and this was my first time using both Unity and C#.

Alyssa Barker
I worked on the backend. I never worked with Unity before, but I was able to apply my knowledge of C-based languages to successfully get a functional pedometer working out of the Android's accelerometer.

Taylor Abraham
Software engineering student who's got a love for learning something new
I worked on the front-end portion of this project. Like the others, I too have never worked with the Android SDK or Unity. My main contribution to the project was creating the UI for the game. This included a scrolling background, a coins collected display area, and the use of sprites for a game avatar.
