Physics Educational Game

The best way to learn something is to add a little bit of fun to it.

Overview

Same as Virtual Reality Calculus game, this projects starts as part of a work for the virtual reality lab in EAFIT University, the goal was similar to but with a different focus, to teach parabolic movement to teenagers and young adults in a fun way, at the begin we wanted to make this game on a Virtual Reality environment but later we change that and make it a normal computer game due to all the mechanics we wanted to add to the game, we decided the medieval theme to add a little extra fun to the game and to be coherent to the main topic that was parabolic movement

Teacher

The role of the teacher is pretty simple, they can create a Json file inside the game to make like exercises inside the game, they can adjust every aspect of the scenery( cannon position, target position, cannon angle, cannon force, etc) and with that create an exercise for the students, if the main student load this file the game will change following this parameters) and locking some functions.

Student

There are two roles the student can have, first of all you must play the game with another colleague online, each student has a unique role, the target and the shooter, the purpose of the target is to move the target to any part of the map on an X Y axis, he can move it everywhere on that axis on a meter unit, the role of the shooter is to change the angle and force of the cannon to shoot the cannon ball and try to hit the target, every three shots the role is changed and they have to use physics formulas to try to hit the target, there is also a main role for the student that creates the room, that is to add a teacher file if they got one(more of this explained on the teacher section).
