N-back memory game #1

Open brylie opened 8 years ago

brylie commented 8 years ago

Create a simple n-back memory game. Use a physical metaphor, so that players see the number of values they need to remember. E.g. hide items in a row of crates, and ask for the name of the item in the nth crate back.

@ErikPel are you interested in developing games for the Elderly (or other age groups)? We can start with some simple game prototypes, and extend them to include progress tracking, etc.

I am currently working with the GDevelop platform, since it is simple, visual, and open source. We can support the GDevelop project by reporting bugs and usability issues, so the tool can be improved.

Let me know if developing this, or another, mini-game would be of interest to you.

Sounds interesting.

Don't have much experience with making games other than some unity projects made in school but shouldn't be too hard to figure out especially when we are making simple games like that.

Right on, lets start small. What are your thoughts on GDevelop?

E.g. I like the idea of an open source, point-and-click game design tool, so that many people, including nurses and caregivers, might be able to edit the game sourcecode.

Not really familiar with it all but with quick look looks really simple so probably good choice for our purposes
