They have had some simple games produced to entertain and educate the children that attend workshops and play groups. These games are bright, two-dimensional games that test the many skills that the children can develop. However, there are little or no games designed for the older primary school students and some secondary students.

    Objectives
    gui-custom.jpg To fulfil the client’s desire, there are several approaches. A main game with smaller games branching out from it would make a suitable objective that could be accomplished. To create this, a game engine has been suggested as the basis to design and produce the final product. Each game will comply with the specifications of the client with some modifications that the client authorises. A story driven game following the level system provided by the client will encompass the main game. Research of the target audience increases the chance of a successful game. The combination of the research and the game creates a winning formula to finish the project and complete a successful game.

    Game objectives for Level 1 and Level 2 of the Shopping Centre
    Ground level is a simple exploration level where the player can explore the entire shopping centre with no objectives or missions. The shopping centre is mainly under construction at that point of the game. Some shops will be completely inaccessible to the player at the current time. The supermarket will be sealed off until level 3 where the player must follow the shopping list and buy all the items.

    Level 1:
    Objectives: Buy a stamp

    Switched on Learning Switching Demo This level is to ease the player into completing objectives in an order. Of the stores open at the time there are two at which the stamp can be purchased a post office and a newsagency. In total, six shops should be open by level 1 with the player able to enter each store and have a conversation with the shop attendant. A security guard can help them if they get lost. Once the player enters the store, they must decide what was required to be purchased. Once they choose the correct item, the level ends and the player moves up to level 2.
    Level 2:
    Objectives: Buy a can of soup, a box of cereal and a packet of chips from the supermarket

    Items: Shopping list, cash

    Switched on Learning Switching Demo This is the final level of the game. Based in the supermarket that was initially sealed off, the player can now approach it and enter. They now must find and collect each item off the shopping list and head for the checkout. They must pay for the items, but they do have a choice to leave the store without paying. Several cues will be spoken to help jog their memory of what they should have done, each getting more obvious the longer the player stalls. The game ends when they leave the supermarket with paid goods.

Each symbol represents a sound, and with practice you can eventually memorize the symbols and their associated sounds. At the same time, you will be improving your typing skills!

    The gameplay is very easy to adapt to. Clouds containing Japanese symbols scroll across the screen, and you must type the sound you believe is associated with any symbol on the screen. You gain points by correctly identifying the symbols.
