week 5 The addition of the idea

The addition of the idea in future group work

After the discussion to explode the idea on our original one "Survive from dangers snake", we decided to change the game design and add more content in this game to improve the user experience. It will not be a simple webpage game, we would change it to a education game which design for children 7 to 12.

We will add more game level to make this game more fun. The game still be single player mission, but need a user name to save the game level, if it is possible, the future game result can be share on social media.

The added level will not be too difficult, but requires player to use more time to sharpen and remember the content from Tove.

week 4 poster idea feedback

Design Exploration feedback

After the presentation on the class this week, I have notice that this idea of webpage game may be a little simple in future design, and also need to improve a lot.
Firstly, the game style is a little simple, may not have good user experience when play it.

Secondly, the target user is too wide and less literature can support it. Which means it may not effective as we expected. We may need to reduce the users age and be more specific.
thirdly, the content need to be more effective so that user can really learn something during this game. So we decided to add the content in both text and graph from Tove.

week 3 About my idea and lower prototype

About my idea and lower prototype

I decided to design a simple webpage game help people to identify dangerous snakes in Queensland in an interactive way, which used named “Survive from dangers snake”.The target users I choose are children between 3~12 years old and people newly arrived in Australia. This webpage game will provide an interactive way to learn knowledge about snakes on Tove website.

The lower prototype have 3 web page, home page, game start, and learn. Navigation can take user to the page they want is showing below.The first page will teach user how to play the game.

The system show snakes picture, user have three choice:

Press “dangerous” button, which mains user identify the snake as a dangerous one.

Press “safe” button, which mains user identify the snake as a safe one.

Press “learn” button, which mains user cannot identify the snake kind. It will jump to learn page.

The learn page can show the detail of the snake.

Back to play button can turn to the last page “game start”.

Week 1 Design Exploration

Week 1 Design Exploration 

Through the study and discussion in this week, I have got some idea in this course. Choose a good topic is important step for design, and I have got some inspiration in how to effective use the Tove website.

Based on the information can be found in Tove, the literature and all the picture need to be used to build a website, it is seems that a easy understanding idea with some specific field need to be considered first.

The future idea of mine may consider more about showing the information in a map or some game design.
