Inspiration

More and more kids are suffering from obesity and diabetes in the United States. This is a problem because they don’t know the importance of nutrition and crave unhealthy foods such as pizza too much. As technology improves, advertisements are everywhere showing kids how tasty and cheap fast food is.

What it does

Through playing this game, kids will build up simple ideas and concepts about which food belongs to healthy food and which food they should avoid. They will realize eating unhealthy in the game will cause them to lose, while choosing healthy foods will increase their score.

How we built it

We built this game with python/pygames

Challenges we ran into

Since pygame function is not familiar to us, we learned how to use it while we were coding it. In addition, Hackathon is hosting virtually this year, so we faced challenges as a team working online.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of our teamwork-none of us used pygame to make a game before so we had to self-study the technique we needed. It is a virtual hackathon this time so that we learnt how to work as a team and communicate online.

What we learned

How to code in Python and Pygame, and how to effectively collaborate as a team.

What's next for Eat Smart

We would like to see this game be used as an educational tool for younger kids at schools, make kids aware of the food they have and prevent them from eating junk foods.
