Details

The objective is to create an app game where players can "shoot" cancer tumors, symbolizing the fight against cancer. This project will allow learners to apply their knowledge of game development, user interface design, and basic health education. The game should be visually appealing, easy to navigate, and informative, providing players with facts about cancer prevention and treatment as they progress through levels. The project will focus on creating a prototype that can be further developed or used as an educational tool. The game should be designed to be both entertaining and educational, encouraging players to learn more about cancer while having fun.



- Develop a concept for a mobile game that raises awareness about cancer.


- Design and implement basic gameplay mechanics where players "shoot" cancer tumors.


- Integrate educational content about cancer prevention and treatment.


- Ensure the game is user-friendly and visually engaging.

Deliverables

The project deliverables include a functional prototype of the Tumor Terminator game, complete with basic gameplay mechanics and educational content. The game should be compatible with both Android and iOS platforms. Additionally, a brief report detailing the game's design process, educational objectives, and potential impact on cancer awareness should be provided. The prototype should include:



- A playable version of the game with at least three levels.


- Educational pop-ups or facts integrated into the gameplay.


- A user interface that is intuitive and visually appealing.


- Documentation of the development process and educational goals.
