Inspiration

Our inspiration for this project was the impact that college student's mental health has on their daily lives. In addition to this, we were also inspired by our college move-in experiences that happened for the first time this fall.

What it does

Our project allows the player to make choices that character's story. Each choice has multiple different outcomes, and every choice the player makes can cause a different ending.

How we built it

We built this project using Java and Visual Studio Code. We started by writing out the story and coming up for the outcomes of the player's choices. After this, we put the story into an interactive game format.

Challenges we ran into

Some challenges we ran into was figuring out where to start, in terms of ideas and language program, and how to execute that fully in our project. As well as taking the time to balance out our day whilst using each second of the 24 hour timer.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Something that we were proud of was actually creating the game through Java, something we are not too strong with, and making an impactful, interactive game through it. We have over 200 lines of code, with more that can still be added on, so it was tedious work.

What we learned

Throughout this project, we gained a profound understanding of how storytelling, design, and coding seamlessly intertwine to create an inspiring interactive experience. This not only captivates but also educates, illustrating how even the simplest choice can shape one's future. By engaging users in meaningful decision-making, we hope to highlight the lasting impact of choices and encourage reflection on the power each decision holds.

What's next for MentalActive

Hopefully it can spread a message throughout the community that everything you do matters. We hope to further develop the code to get real simulations of the world, and continue the scenarios.
