Need suggestion on the following idea.
Would like to submit the proposal for GSOC this year with this idea.
I was thinking how to build a interactive maths game for mobile. I came up
with a simple idea as we have Tuxmath for Ubuntu. I have detailed my idea
below please give your review, so I can send my proposal very well.
Here I would like to use SVG for drawing the figures like bullet, fire
stone falling down then interactive Tux or Tank which will shoot bullets
for the answers.
The game goes like follows I will discuss the Over all outline here, but
the game will have some additional stages.
1. First the user will be getting the question at the top of the screen,
say as we have ads in many websites.
2. Then for that particular question in first stage we will be making to
fall 4 hot stones with numbers, in that only one correct answer will be
there.
3. The Tux or Tank has to shoot the number which is similar as we have
in PC games.
4. The user has to move his Tux or Tank by shaking the phone or by
dragging(it is easy to implement first) then have to stand straight and
have to tap on screen.
5. When he taps, the bullet will be going and shooting. For every miss
we can reduce the points(max 3 chances to shoot)
6. If he misses 3 times then his game will be over and he has to restart
from first.
If you give some suggestions on this idea I can write some code and come up
with SVG first for tank and then for Tux.
Waiting for the reply. I am sure I can build this game and show for mobile.
I can give the output first for Mozilla Phone OS, then can show demo for
android and finally for IOs.
