Inspiration

The idea came from Doodle Jump. We had an idea to build a game that allows female character to learn programming and overcome dilemmas for female engineers. We integrated this idea with Doodle Jump to build Jumping Girl. The female character learns programming through posting, viewing and answering polls on Stack Overflow, and once she participate in AthenaHacks, she will learn as much as she view/post/answer five polls on StackOverflow!

What it does

The player is a female programmer. She jumps on computer-look platforms to get items. The normal Stack Overflow icon worths 1 point, while the AthenaHacks icon worths 5 points. The goal is to get as many icons as possible.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This is our team's first time to play a game with a female engineer character!

What we learned

Swift language, IOS development, and most important: Girls

What's next for JumpingGirl

We plan to add different difficulty levels for players to choose. Also, we would like to add enemies that symbolize current "enemies" for women engineers, e.g. stereotypes, online harassment, employment...etc
