  Example of Game Penguin (Alternates between states of "Green -- Good Vibes" or "Red -- Bad Vibes")

Inspiration

After hours and hours of coding, we just wanted to get our groove on! It's hard having to run on a treadmill for what seems like forever, but once you get your groove on, time just passes by and those calories get a burnin'!

What it does

This is an AR game. The objective of the game is to shoot "good vibes" to angry retro penguins that will turn happy once they are hit with the "good vibes". The goal is to dodge the "bad vibes" that the angry penguins are sending constantly. While you are dodging "bad vibes" and sending "good vibes"you can also burn a descent amount of calories. Since the game is always sending "bad vibes", players are always moving and are active while engaging in a fun, augmented reality experience.

How we built it

We used the Unity Game Engine and C# in order to create the app as well as the ARKit API .

Challenges we ran into

One of the challenges we ran into was learning how to use the C# language to perform the desired effects that we envisioned for our game. In addition, we were new to the process of making animations, so we had to take time to learn through tutorials and other peer hackers regarding tools within Unity that we could use to make what we wanted. Another set of challenges arose while we tried to navigate and utilize the ARKit API system.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of the skills we gained in animation, C#, and Unity to create an AR game.

What we learned

We were able to learn firsthand the degree of intricacy, time, and dedication needed to make a game, even at the simplest level. Also, not all of us were knowledgeable of C# before coming to PennApps so we were able to gain some skills in this language while working on a cool, exciting project.

What's next for Funky Fitness

Adding music to make the experience more fun and adding more levels for players into interact in.
