2. Zombies on Campus
Our project is to make a mobile application to educate
students on potential health professional careers, and to
promote the University of Alberta (UofA). To this end, our
app will apply principles of gamification to create a game
based app called Zombies on Campus.
This android and iOS app will be used by mostly high
school students that are enrolled in the course Career And
Life Management (CALM) in Alberta, as a way of exploring
and learning about a variety of careers and occupations in
health sciences. This will also help the users, some which
are prospective students, become more familiar with the
UofA campus.

3. Purpose Of Project:
● Inform high school students about careers in
Health Sciences/Public Health.
● Promote the University of Alberta as an
educational institute.
● Familiarize potential University of Alberta
students with the university's campus and
the specific buildings related to Health
Sciences.

4. Look And Feel:
● Cartoonish and humorous characters
● Overall design inspired by games such as
Plants Vs. Zombies
● Intent to keep user's interest
within a high school audience.
● Zombie theme map while still
resembling the Campus.

5. Features:
1. Campus map intractable through both
touchscreen and gps location
2. 2D Platform Zombie-themed mini-game for
gamification of experience
3. iOS and Android releases
4. Videos related to each healthcare profession
5. Ability to follow and track users progress
6. High Score Leaderboards

6. Project Overview:
When a user starts a new game, they will be
given a brief exposition introducing the plot and
game.
The user will then be free to explore the
interactive campus map through either the
touch screen, or the users gps position.
From the campus map the user will be able
to explore different buildings. Inside of each
building will be a video of the related healthcare
profession, along with some fun facts and a
mini-game.

7. Project Overview:
The mini-game will be a 2D platformer where
the user must capture a zombie. The mini-
game will serve to keep the users attention, as
well as adding a level of gamification to the
app.
After the zombie has been captured, the
user will receive more plot exposition, and
directions to find the next health profession
related zombie.
This will continue until the user captures all
of the zombies and beats the game.

8. Technologies:
● IBM Worklight Eclipse Plugin / PhoneGap to
create a cross-platform HTML5 Android and
IOS application
● jQuery Mobile
● Impact Javascript Game Engine
