Meta Issue for Identity Activation Game #59

Open montsegarza opened 4 years ago

montsegarza commented 4 years ago

This is a revamp of Issue #46. It is an entirely different project, but with the same pedagogical goals.

We want to create a game where the user acts as a politician attempting to gain support by activating citizens' numerous identities. For this sprint, we will use Kenya and its districts as a case study.

Data Collection:

[x] Choose individual characteristics/identities to represent in data
[x] Find Kenya district data for chosen identities

Backend:

[ ] Make data parsing function to rewrite data in a readable format (Python dictionary)
[ ] Make probabilistic models on chosen data
[ ] Make people models with characteristics based on above probabilities
[ ] Find a way to combine the budget simulation models with these models

Frontend:

[ ] Activation toggle interface
[ ] People dot interface for all of Kenya and each district
[ ] Dots changing color if identity activated
