Blind Maze

Inspiration

I wanted to create a phone app game that blind people could use. I thought about how people with impaired vision often have to memorize the layout of rooms so as not to bump into anything. This takes a lot of visual memory. I wondered if I could replicate that experience in a game. Research in the Apple App store showed me that there weren't a lot of games out there for blind people, however smartphones are easily used by those with poor vision.

What it does

This game used swipes and haptics to solve a maze. It was really fun and challenging to program.

How I built it

MIT App Inventor

Challenges I ran into

I ran into a lot of challenges, like planning out the function of the game and with bugs while developing the app. I persevered and finally got it working!

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

This was a challenging game to plan out.

What I learned

I enjoy designing games that might help people.

What's next for Blind Maze

Ideally I find a better text to voice but otherwise it is finished
