A New Beginning
The new grouping has been completed and we are now onto new projects.
Thermodynamics
The new focus is creating an educational game that will help the engineering department teach their students thermodynamics.
We are currently starting a project to focus on the actually learning aspects in thermodynamics. We have decided to attempt two key features.
The main key feature is a "Helper" and a "Hint" to help prod the player suggestions on how to complete their current tasks. This may sound simple, but having this be particular for each individual thermodynamics problem is difficult. We are excited for the challenge, and terrified of the hours ahead.
The secondary key feature is the idea of a sandbox for learning thermodynamics. This has been placed into the backlog until we are able to complete the main feature, but the idea of people being able to use tools to learn about thermodynamics is very exciting.
I wish I had this type of tool when I learned about thermodynamics. Abacuses (abaci) are difficult to use.
