The Initial Choice of Major. The first question of all runs of University Simulator.
As a Freshmen, the player is presented with two initial choices that make sense for the year they are in.
The next question builds on the previous one, taking the user on completely different journeys every run.

🎓 College Simulator

Inspiration

College is a unpredictable experience with infinite possibilities, why not be able to explore them through a fun interactive game?

What It Does

College Simulator is a decision based game where players navigate the college experience by making choices about academics, social life, sleep, stress, and priorities. Each choice impacts the rest of the college journey

How We Built It

We built the web game using:

Python
FastAPI
Tailwind CSS
React
Gemini AI

The core system is based around character stats. Each decision grants or subtracts points in three hidden categories: Academics, Morale and Physical Health. These totals influence the AI's generation of decisions, as well as building upon the previous choices the user has made.

Challenges We Faced

Snow caused significant issues for our group members when it came to traveling to the venue. Issues with public transport and general weather induced problems meant much time was lost.
We experienced difficulties narrowing the scope of the project, as were initially quite ambitious
Balancing the point system was difficult, as we wanted the game to be winnable but not overly punishing
