A.L.I., the grant funded department at UNT where I work, missed a grant cycle, which basically means we were shutting down. Things a went a little crazy, people freaked, the boss man left,meanwhile I made this with no supervision or direction.
The edugame centers around the idea making an educational card game, but tries to leverage the computer interfaces strengths – an interactive board, and card control. and complex score keeping among others. Each card adds or subtracts points from states and, as states points reach zero or 10, the points recursively trickle down to the neighboring states.
This was months ago, but I remember what a breath of fresh air is was to get to be involved in a project form inception to creation, something which was part of our standards when the department began, but had become increasingly hard to do as project quantity increased and development cycles decreased. This took two weeks to make, the idea being create it as a two person game sharing a keyboard, but take it to the edge where we could put an AI in it or make it a network game.
I strongly recommend choosing the “cards sorted by date” option then playing the second card “stamp act”
