Inspiration
We wanted to build something to teach K-8 Grade scholars. We went with the decision to teach about fitness and wellness. It is important to learn at a young age the decisions you make can impact you for the rest of your life.
What it does
You first make a character that you can customize by skin tone, hair, clothing, and hats. You then choose an exercise plan that you will execute for eight weeks. Once you select and confirm your exercise plan you are then given advice on what you should improve. Then you play a mini platformer with the goal to make it to the finish line in a certain amount of time. Your strength is impacted by how high you jump, your cardio affects your speed, and your cardio affects how much time you have to complete the course.
How we built it
Used basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Challenges we ran into
Design was the hardest part for us as we found it difficult coming up with engaging designs for K-8 Grade Scholars. It was also challenging to come up with a game design as we did not have much previous experience doing it.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud that we came up with an idea and being able to build it. It is oftentimes hard to get started on a project when you are not exactly sure how its going to go. We are proud of sticking with this project until the end
What we learned
We learned how better design and build keeping in mind who we are doing it for.
What's next for Exercise Hack
We may redo the final platform level or clean up the designs.
