Abstract

We developed a game in 3D, which is developed in “Unity 3D tool”, which is not just a game; it is
a platform where kids will learn things in their initial stage of learning rather than wasting their
time while playing other games, which are nothing, but just waste of time. This will be a mobile
app, which can be downloaded from Play store of android. This is a game where player will run,
move in the game scene and in initial levels characters (Alphabets) will also run in the scene, and
player will run, catch and collect objects. This game is a level-based game and will consist on
different environments. Moreover, different strategy. We added different strategy in different
levels to increase the problem-solving skills and increase the difficulty level, level by level. In next
levels, player character will jump and collect the floating objects in the air. When player will
collect one object then the second one will appear somewhere in the game scene. Each level will
have a time limit with in which user has to collect all the objects. In game scene player can also
see his/her progress of game play. Kids who play games in their initial stage of learning they will
learn their initial studies through this game. We gave this application a concept of game so that
children will play this game with interest and their parents will recommend this to their children
this game so that they can learn as well as then can have fun. This platform will be proved so
interesting and successful and it will be the most usable and beneficial game until now.

Chapter 1: Introduction
In this chapter, we will describe introduction of our project and idea as well as tool in which we
are working. Further, we will be describing about other games, which are already in market and
the enhancement, which we are doing in our game. We will also define motivations and
challenges we faced during this project completion. We will describe our goals and objectives to
make this game in 3D and as well as to choose this idea. The planning of our project and also
described work breakdown structure and roles of our team members.
Our motive of making this game is to save children’s time and satisfying their parents, even if
they are playing this game. Because our game includes only things, by which children can learn
things in their prime age of learning. And increase their brain skills and learning skills. By this idea,
children and their parents both will be satisfied because children are not wasting their time by
playing this game.
1.1. Background
Unity Technologies were found on 2 August 2004 by David Helgason (CEO), Nicholas Francis
(CCO) and Joachim Ante (CTO) in Denmark. After their first game, GooBall, they failed to
gain success. Unity Technologies received funding. The company then focused to "game
development" and make development of 2D and 3D interactive content as accessible as
possible to as many people around the world as possible. In 2008, with the rise of the
iPhone, Unity was one of the first engine developers to begin supporting the platform in
full. Unity now supports 24 platforms, including Oculus Rift, PlayStation 4 and Linux. In April
2012, Unity reportedly had 1 million registered developers, 300,000 of which used Unity on
a regular monthly basis. On 10 November 2010, the Unity Asset Store launched as an online
marketplace for Unity users to sell project assets (artwork, code systems, audio, etc.). By
April 2014, it had 600,000 registered users who downloaded about 500,000 assets per
month. In April 2015, the number of reported registered developers reached 4.5 million,
with 1 million monthly active users. 47% of all mobile game developers use Unity. According
to some estimates, this has saved game developers about $1 billion in the previous year.

1.2. Motivations and Challenges

In our families kids we have observed that mostly children play games which provide only
entertainment not learning skills. They waste their time playing many games which are not
beneficial because they don’t pay attention to their study. This is the reason we have motivated
to do this learning game. We discussed this idea with our group fellows and teacher like Sir
Muhammad Ahmed they also agreed with this problem in our society. The biggest challenge
includes to gather the team at the same point, to learn unity and to make the “UNITY 3D” game
for learning skills.

1.3. Goals and Objectives

Following features, we will provide, & following goals we will try to achieve:
Satisfy the parents:
Our main purpose is to satisfy the parents that their children are not wasting their time
but learning something with fun.
Time saving:
It is time saving because in their playing time they will also learn their educational
activities.
Enhancing Learning:
We have created this game with problem solving activities where children will collect
objects by presence of their mind.
Easy and efficient:
Our purpose is to provide easy and efficient game for children. It will be very easy to play.
 Game App:
We are making app that will easily be downloaded from the play store.

1.4. Literature Review/Existing Solutions

There are many games that are made in 2D and some games exist are in 3D but their main
learning contents are not interesting for children. In 2D games, some are interesting and have
learning activities for children but our motive is to provide the same things in 3D platform, which
Faculty of CS&IT, Superior University Lahore, Pakistan 3
 Run to Learn

will be more interesting. It will be more interesting because of our strategy of increasing difficulty
by reducing time period of each level. This game is totally based on learning contents. It is a level
based game where the game character will collect different type of learning objects in different
levels as well as in different environments.
We have thought to do it commercially, in a large scale in the future. We will also improve this
app for children to learn more and more with entertainment.

1.5. Gap Analysis

There is the main gap between 2D and 3D environment because mostly games are in 2D. Unity
3D platform environment is more obvious and kids will interact with real world objects.
Another gap that we felt, it is a level-based game where game character will run and move in
the game scene and will collect different type of learning objects. There is no such type of game
available in market with such idea. That is why we think about this to make a learning game with
such concept and idea. There are no such games in which they took care of children’s interests,
we make sure while developing this game that children play this game with interest because our
theme is a game but advantage is children’s learning.
Planned Strategy:
Our main purpose is to develop kid’s interest in learning through this game and save their time.

1.6. Proposed Solution

“Run to learn” is proposing the solution in the form of mobile application. In this game
application, children will learn about educational activities like collect alphabets etc. This is not
just an app in fact, it is designed as game so that children can have interest in it and pay attention
to it. This game will prevent children to kill their time in different games and will allow them to
have fun and learning at the same time on a same platform. It will be based on level strategy
where player will run and move and jump in the scene and collect learning objects.

METHDOLOGY

2. Proposed Methodology and System Architecture

Rapid application development is a software development methodology that uses minimal

planning in favor of rapid prototyping. A prototype is a working model that is functionally
equivalent to a component of the product. In the RAD model, the functional modules are developed
in parallel as prototypes and are integrated to make the complete product for faster product
delivery. Since there is no detailed preplanning, it makes it easier to incorporate the changes within
the development process.

RAD projects follow iterative and incremental model and have small teams comprising of
developers, domain experts, customer representatives and other IT resources working
progressively on their component or prototype. The most important aspect for this model to be
successful is to make sure that the prototypes developed are reusable.

1. Data Flow Diagram

A data flow diagram (DFD) maps out the flow of information for any process or system. It uses defined
symbols like rectangles, circles and arrows, plus short text labels, to show data inputs, outputs, storage
points and the routes between each destination. Data flowcharts can range from simple, even hand-
drawn process overviews, to in-depth, multi-level DFDs that dig progressively deeper into how the data
is handled. They can be used to analyze an existing system or model a new one. Like all the best
diagrams and charts, a DFD can often visually “say” things that would be hard to explain in words, and
they work for both technical and nontechnical audiences, from developer to CEO. That’s why DFDs
remain so popular after all these years. While they work well for data flow software and systems, they
are less applicable nowadays to visualizing interactive, real-time or database-oriented software or
systems.
