WorldView

Your virtual city - watch your farms, trees, and buildings develop as you develop your recycling habits.
Your scores - log your different types of recycling and make your city grow.
Your timeline - track your recycling and reflect on your progress.

Inspiration

For the AstraZeneca challenge, we chose the words Mobile, Gamification, and Recycling. Mobile phones are now universal, and provide an easy way for people to track their actions on the go. We used gamification to encourage employees to recycle and subsequently track their recycling, by presenting an instant visualisation of their impact through a virtual city.

What it does

Employees use the 'My Impact' page to see their current scores and to log entries for paper, food, and other recycling. We ask them to reflect on the items they have recycled, and on how much more they could have recycled, and use these to change a score. This score determines the growth of different areas of the city. Paper recycling grows the trees, Food grows crops, Other destroys factories, and your overall total builds skyscrapers. Previous logs can be scrolled though in the My Journey page.

How I built it

Only one of us had Unity experience, but we split up the different parts of the app and developed these in Unity individually, before coming together at the end to combine all the pieces.

I designed the user interface and all graphics, and wrote the scripts that would generate the city based on the scores. I also helped integrate each member’s individual contributions into the final Unity project.

I worked on the back end, with the input and counter functions for use across the program. This was my first attempt at C# and Unity, having never looked at this before the hackathon. I learnt a lot about the UI system and how C# uses the Unity libraries and the differing syntax to Java.

I worked on the back end, helping with the counter functions used in the program and on the front end, by building different features such as scrolling and text output. It was my first time working in C# or Unity, but I managed to learn a lot by working alongside my passionate and motivated teammates.
