Mini Game Mayhem

2-liner description of the project?

An application similar to Luminosity with a collection of math-themed games to teach various topics of the fourth grade curriculum. Users receive scores for their performance and can improve over time.

What will each team member’s role be?

Everyone will make their own very small minigames and assist in others where needed.

List your upstream Mentors below:

To be determined

How will you communicate with them? (i.e. IRC Channel, Email Addresss, mail lists, issue trackers, etc…)

• IRC channel
• Email sugar-devel mail list

What are the easy parts?

• Adjusting to sugar lab development environment
• Getting in contact with sugar lab developers
• Testing

What are the hard parts?

• Creating multiple small, fun games that teach concepts
• Having enough functional content
• Getting everything done in six weeks
• Avoiding adding too many features that will make it too much work to complete, while still keeping it interesting
• Masking the lessons under themes rather than math

How will you overcome both?

• Staying in constant contact with other team members
• Coming up with ideas early
• Building prototypes early
• Keeping the scope as small as possible
