Professors聽Kletenik and Sturm will create a game to introduce programming concepts to undergraduate students. The game will include a storyline, sound effects, graphics, power-ups, and short quiz-like challenges. It will provide students with an opportunity to practice their programming skills. The game is intended for a broad audience; gamers,聽non-gamers, females, and underrepresented groups will be consulted during the creation of the game. In addition, a wide-scale evaluation of the effectiveness of the game will be performed. The game will be available as a WebGL and will be playable in a browser without downloading or installation. It will be released under a Free Software license, enabling others to modify the game if so desired.

We are eager to get feedback on the game design. Help us out by (roughly 20 minutes total).
