Inspiration

We wanted to create an interactive game where new drivers can learn about essential driving knowledge and traffic rules and practice good driving behaviors. Specifically, we want new drivers to be able to master basic and important driving skills after playing our game. We also hope new drivers will be more confident when they are on the road after playing our game.

What it does

HeadsUp is an interactive game designed to educate new drivers about important driving practices and traffic rules. Players will have the chance to learn about essential driving rules during the game and receive feedback for improvements. Additionally, there will be pop-up questions to test players' driving knowledge and their scores will determine their current driving skills. We based the rules of our game on the MVD Driving Manual.

How we built it

We built the game using Unity and coded in C#.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into challenges when creating the "world" (setting and environment) for the game. Since we wanted to create an interactive and engaging game, we had to spend quite some time on finding the best environment to demonstrate the rules. We also had to find and incorporate various traffic signs and scale them so they fit naturally on the landscape.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to effectively develop a game, where players can learn about driving and traffic rules by playing the game.

What we learned

We learned about different C# functions and unity navigation skills. Most importantly, we learned new, effective team working skills to ensure we successfully build a deliverable project on time.

What's next for HeadsUp

We want to continue improving the game by adding more features and expand into less common but still important driving practices and rules. We also wish to add a first-person view to make the game even more engaging.
