Quest

Inspiration

Quest is inspired by the problems that a lot of students and teachers faced in online-teaching during the pandemic. One of the main reasons for less effective online teaching was the lack of interest. Quest now comes to rescue to fix that issue.

What it does

Quest is basically an online virtual interactive gaming platform where educators can invite learners to meet and participate in healthy competition. Quest allows the host to create a game where it can insert multiple questions, answering which will lead to gradual progress in the game. Creating a game will lead to a display of a randomised room id and a host-defined password. Players can move around in the game, find questions hidden around the gameplay area and move on to the next challenge in the game. The player who completes all the questions first wins the game.

How we built it

The game is built keeping in mind the issues faced by students and educators around the world. The game will be built in a way to keep it less data-intensive by prompting the users to choose between basic and HD at the time of first use. It will then download the remaining required files as per the user's choice. In the basic choice, there will be less animations and the images used will be highly compressed. Basically, it'll only have the features required to enjoy the full gameplay. The HD version will have mid-high resolution images and some added animations. The version of the game can be changed anytime from the settings page by the user.

Challenges we ran into

A key challenge we ran into was to keep the game as light as we could for everyone to access. We overcame the challenge by deciding upon 2 versions(Basic and HD) of the game which can we selected by the user at the first time of using the app.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to find a solution to a problem faced by a wide number of students and teachers. We are proud to make online learning a fun and interesting thing for students. The game will encourage students to partcipate more in learning and education.

What we learned

We learned to provide 1 solution to a wide array of problems faced by educators and students during online-learning. We also learned to make an application less data intensive by making it optional for users to download some resources keeping in mind the disparities that lie in our society.

What's next for Quest

Quest aims to make the game playable on almost every smartphone available on Earth. Quest plans to keep working and improving the app from every aspect including gameplay.
