Inspiration
We wanted to follow the Welcome Home theme and due to the recent refugee crisis, we wanted to create an information and interactive program that allowed deeper understanding of the issue. We took inspiration from Oregon Trail as it is a visual story with different choices that can lead to different outcomes.
What it does
Our game leads the user through the refugee journey, including several random events and character choices.
How we built it
We programmed using Java, in an IDE called Processing.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into some structural challenges, and had some issues with our logic sequencing that we were able to resolve by using different function calls and implementing nested if statements.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are very proud of our project overall! We both put in a lot of work and successfully programmed the whole game. Specifically, we are most proud of being able to implement different choices for the user.
What we learned
We learned that it is important to have a strong outline before beginning programming. We also learned some new java code!
What's next for Refugee Journey
We want to add some new events as well as go more in-depth into the aftermath. We wanted to create more interactive features and have more factors that can impact the ending.
