LevelUp

Inspiration

Transitioning into college, it can be difficult to balance academics and other activities, let alone daily exercise. However, fun and addicting forms of entertainment always seem to find their way into our tight schedules (TikTok and Reels). As an alternative way to use their time, LevelUp allows users to get in their daily exercise in a fun and interactive way.

What it does

LevelUp allows the user to level up an avatar through physical exercise and education. By leveling up their avatar, users will be able to defeat "bosses" located throughout their environment, or their friend's avatar. Weight lifting work outs increase strength points and attack damage in battle, while flights climbed increase stamina points and defense in battle. And to ensure that our app is inclusive, our game is designed with simple colors and are able to answer questions on muscle targeted exercises to earn power ups that can be used in battles.

How we built it

We brought LevelUp to life through Thunkable.

Challenges we ran into

We started off trying to create our vision in Android Studio. However, we quickly realized that this was beyond the scope of our abilities and unrealistic for the time frame. We then decided to switch our project over to Thunkable half way through. As a result, we had to move our work into Thunkable while learning the user interface.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of creating and completing our first project for our first hackathon. We're proud of bringing to life a game that promotes physical wellbeing.

What we learned

After building this game, we've learned how to design and create projects and how to use technology to create apps.

What's next for LevelUp

In the future, we hope to expand LevelUp to not only level up our users' physiques, but also their diets. Micronutrients and macronutrients consumed can be used to increase efficiency of strength and stamina points earned.
