Objectives

---

Mobile educational game for iOS or Android. Granular Requirements: >>Users wander around picking up beasties shown on their screen (AR Kit). >>Beasties are randomly placed in the real world (lat/lon). >>GPS guides the user to the Beastie, just like that famous app that will not be named. >>The mobile device compass further adds to the realism. >>To capture a Beastie, the user must correctly answer a math question (K-8). >>Correct and the Beastie is captured, Incorrect and it is set free (maybe unavailable for a period of time). >>Questions are randomly assigned to a Beastie on the fly (maybe). Stretch Requirements: >>Edit or upload questions to a website. The app downloads them. >>Questions are permanently assigned to a Beastie by the server. Which is more fun! Because a particular Beastie with a hard question may remain an elusive goal for the students. >>More than just Math. Science? Social Studies? General purpose quiz? >>What to do when the Beasties are captured? Show them off in a gallery? Mock battles? >>Leaderboard? Class code?

IMPORTANT: The focus should be on development, not asset creation. Unity and Unreal have asset collections, many free. Other free game assets are available online. Do not spend time creating assets (this is a CS course, after all). Reimbursement for up to $100 per person per term for any Capstone expense is available from COE.

IMPORTANT: This project does not have a formal industry or faculty mentor and is student team managed and directed. If you choose this project for a one-term Capstone such as CS 467, make sure to manage the deliverables for that time frame. Alternatively, if you choose this project for a 3-term capstone (such as CS 461, 462, and 463) you will be expected to make the project more robust (and to determine how best to do this). The Instructor and TAs are available to answer any questions you may have about the project or provide resources, etc.
