Trash Master

Fun minigames to teach younger kids how to identify if waste goes into compost, recycling, or the trash.

Comment

Inspiration

We wanted to inspire younger kids to sort their trash correctly in a fun way.

What it does

The project is a game that will have the user drag and drop trash items into various bins (recycling, compost, garbage, and donation). Using a 3 life system, the user can keep playing as long as they don't lose all of their lives. Each misplaced trash item will cost them 1 life.

How we built it

We used XCode Swift for iOS mobile development as well as HTML/CSS/Javascript for a website version.

Challenges we ran into

  1. None of us were previously familiar with iOS development and we only had one computer that could run the XCode application to develop the app, hindering our progress greatly.
  2. The team had many different ideas for the project, which led to a significant amount of time spent figuring out what to do.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  1. We learned a lot about Swift and UI design.
  2. We made custom art for the project.

What we learned

  1. We learned a lot about Swift and UI design.

What's next for Trash Master

We want to implement a full-fledged game version of Trash Master after becoming more familiar with the iOS development environment.
