Hey Everyone,
This past Spring I took my Senior Project class. This class was fairly straightforward and easy. All you had to do was start a project and finish it. For my project, I decided to create an Android application called Living Simulation (which can be found Here).
If you ever played the game The Sims, the concept may seem to be fairly familiar.
In Living Simulation the objective of the game is to live life to the fullest in accordance with the rules of the game.
In Living Simulation there are a few important components you need to be aware of.
First important factor is the scoring components. There are two types of scoring, there is a short term scoring and long term scoring. The short term scoring is what is called Life Levels. There are seven Life Levels in Living Simulation which are hygiene, social, fun, energy, fitness, work (or school), and hunger. You start off with 100% full Live Levels. As the day goes on, your Life Levels begin to decrease. As your Life Levels begin to decrease, you must log your daily activities to increase your Life Levels. For example: your hunger Life Level may decrease by 1 point every hour, after 4 hours your Life Level will be down to 5 Life Level points. To increase your points back up to 100%, you must log that you ate food.Once you have logged this activity, your Life Levels will increase back to 100%.
At the end of the day, your Energy Life Level will be down to a very low amount. At this point, it is time for you to log the activity of sleeping. Once you log this activity, your Life Levels will be frozen and at this point of the day, this is where your long term (Lifetime) points will be calculated. Lifetime points are given based on how many Life Levels you have in the green and how many Life Levels you have in the red. The more Life Levels you have in the green, the more Lifetime Points you will receive. Lifetime points can be used to buy items for your avatar (such as change their hair, change their shirt, shoes, pants).
Living Simulation is fully customizable to your lifestyle. If you eat more and exercise less, then you can decrease the amount of points those specific Life Levels decrease. If you exercise more and eat less, you can change the amount of points those specific Life Levels decrease.
The activities that are logged can also be edited and added to. If you would like a more difficult experience, you may add negative Life Levels to certain activities. For example: if you work out, you may want to increase your fitness, but decrease your hygiene and your hunger (after I work out I am usually starving, and smelly).
Living Simulation also allows Facebook updates straight from the application. This way you can let your friends know what your doing as you increase your Life Levels.
Download my app on your Android phone and let me know what you think.
