Unity - creation engine for our games
C# - the used programming language
Visual Studio - integrated development envirement for coding our scripts
The goal of this project was the creation of a Game based on the existing "4 Player Basket" game. Test with before mentioned game have shown that it is not suitable for some elderly. The icons are too small and they move too fast. Another factor why it is not a good fit is that the screen is very crowded and it is hard to find a specific icon. In our Project we aim to solve these problems in our game.
The game we created consist of 3 different Levels and a main menu.
In the first game mode, called "Belt", Items spawn around the screen boarders and move towards the centre where they are destroyed. The goal is to find and touch a certain item. This item is different for the different players. Each found item is worth one point and to win one needs 10 points.
The second game mode is called "Basket" and consists of items floating around the screen. Again, each player has to look for a specific item and one wins for scoring 10 points.
The third game mode is called "Clean Up". Sim-ilar to the mode "Basket" items are floating around the screen. The difference is that this is meant as a team game mode. In the middle of the screen a black hole displays an item to be found. All the players have to search it and drag it into the centre. The game is over after all item were dragged into the centre and the screen was "cleaned up" or if the time runs out.
