Red Flags
This is a game designed to encourage and educate children to be more climate conscious.
Players take turn rolling a die and moving their pawn. The space they land on determines which type of card the player draws.
The player attempts to answer the question on the card by choosing the option that has the least impact on the environment.
Points are awarded based on the answers. These points are used to remove red flags, which accumulate as the rounds go on.
The game ends after a set number of rounds. The player with the least amount of red flags is the winner.

My contribution:
I worked on redesigning, rebuilding and programming the original board game design on Unity to be playable as a videogame on a PC.

Dice Roll
The first thing I worked on when I began rebuilding the game on Unity was to implement a working Dice Roller and a turn system. This is the most fundamental mechanic of most board games and so I decided to create the dice roll system first.
Question Cards
In the physical version of the game, the question cards have both the questions, as well as the answers printed on them. The card is meant to be read out to the other player whose turn it currently is so that they can't see the answer. However for the videogame version, since all the players share the same screen, this would not be possible. So I changed the cards to become a Multiple Choice Quiz that the player has to answer. I created multiple templates for different types of cards and scripted the quiz mechanic.
Redesigning the game board
For the videogame version of the game, I had to design a layout that would work for a single screen yet incorporate all the different elements of the board game: The eart board, the quest board, the die, and each type of card.
Player Details
I created a pop up window that would display all the stored information about the game that was relevant to the players ie, the round number, each player's points, the number of red flags each player has, and a button to spend their points to remove one red flag off of their board.
