Annual IPPT Tests are often overlooked by NSMen due to their busy work schedules and lack of motivation to train. Current fitness applications not only lack targeted IPPT-style training, but also lack the features to keep users consistently motivated to clock in workouts.
Our fitness trainer, Train2Gold, is designed to keep users addicted to the good habit of regular exercise, and in so improving and achieving their goals for their IPPT assessments and enjoying the process. Notable features include the two main point systems, XP (with progress, levelling up, and penalty features), and In-Game Credits (which can go into customising their displayed avatar/ character). Furthermore, Train2Gold integrates a social-competitive aspect in the form of friend lists, leaderboards, and public displays of their avatar. These gamified elements serve to nurture consistent training and reprogram the user to view training as rewarding rather than a dreadful task.
We built it as a WebApp using Github, html, CSS.
The main challenge faced and overcome was in syncing the Avatar across multiple webpages at once. For instance, a user can buy and equip items in the Shop using their in-game credits, and this change will also reflect in their Homepage.
We are proud of the minimalist yet effective design and idea of our application in achieving its intended outcome.
