- Something that was like a real dig – needed to occupy class for a day - a number (3) games – like time team – stages – metal detect – geofizz – dig – plastic pipesDig – originally something more complex and like a video game with real people – owl / hare / mole etcCommittee too complicated – programmers too much to do
- Wanted 3D model of what building looks like - Sketch Up – make ruin and geofizz plan – led to results beamed to classroom and Flash game
- Treasure hunt – HTML5, iPhone user interface, geolocation, fwd, back, links to video, audio, Flash!?You too can play this – treasure.locomatrix.com
- Pipes / box / flash / animation
- Simple rubbing out of top layer – could lead to a whole class of games – pairs – 3D rub outCould have an application for real geofizz - students
- Made out of bits from the other 2 games – needed to be long for detection – what’s the blue bit for – telling children the truth
- In poor reception area – no connection to WiFi – Zoom boxMeans that each game (page) may take a while to startAnswer – only using AndroidSo build an Android appMore programs moving from computer to web – accounts, project managementMobile network will improve so long-term solution …
