Hungry Horse - iOS/Android Mobile Game App
In Development
Professional App Made in Conjuction with a Phd. student at The University of Victoria
Role: Lead Programmer and Game Designer
Hungry Horse is a mobile app of a gamified cognitive task for research. Using a whack-a-mole style of game play, participants engage in an emotional Go/No Go type of cognitive task that measures impulsiveness by determining an individuals ability to inhibit a response. The behavioural measures include accuracy and reaction time during gameplay.
My role has been to create the wireframe currently shown, as well as I am currently programming a prototype in Unity by myself. After the prototype and design desicions have been finalized, I will create a working app to be released in Spring 2024 for testing.
All data collected from participants will be securely stored on a realtime database using Google Firebase.
Technologies used:
- C#
- Unity
- Google Firebase Backend-as-a-service (Baas)
- Various custom art and sound assets
- Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 for private collaboration
Please Note: the wireframe/prototype listed below only currently only allows you to open different pages or "levels" by clicking on the
different buttons throughout the game, but does not function as the game ultimately will. These are only "placeholder" images.
