Exbrain - European Countries

 

Exbrain


European Countries

"Expand your brain with Exbrain"

This was a game aimed for 7-12 year olds and the object is to guess as many European countries as you can.    

Due to the nature of my job as a software engineer, I am morally required to regularly update skills using different technologies and I thought this made an ideal project to learn from.

European Countries is an advert free, no cost game for Android mobile phones (and potentially Apple) that will allow you to challenge yourself to learn the names of as many European capital cities as you can.  With simple navigation, it is now made up of 4 levels starting at simple and going up to super hard.  There are 5 countries per page. There is a final page that allows you to guess which animal you're listening to.  It's easy to play and was fun when testing the app with my 9 year old daughter! 

The interesting thing with this app is that it accepts speech and converts it to text.  Alternatively, you are presented with a pop up bespoke keyboard or you can select from a couple of cheat options.

The application was designed to encourage development of a child's memory while boosting confidence when reaching higher and higher scores.

Developed by myself, Nigel Stanhope.

Noisy Animal Kids Game 2

Noisy Animal Kids Game 2


Noisy Animal Kids Game

With reference to the last game, refer to my original blog 7 years ago.  (http://animalflashcards.blogspot.com/2014/02/animal-flashcards-this-is-game-aimed.html)

This was a game aimed for 1-5 year olds with real life animal sounds and quiz.  This game existed 7 years ago which had been originally written in Java and designed for my daughters age at the time.  I have now redeveloped this app with React and increased the number of animal sounds.  

Due to the nature of my job as a software engineer, I am morally required to regularly update skills using different technologies and I thought this made an ideal project to learn from.

Noisy Animal is an advert free, no cost game for Android mobile phones (and potentially Apple) that will allow you to listen to many interesting and fun, real life animal sounds.  With simple navigation, it is now made up of 7 pages with 10 animals per page. As before, there is a final page that allows you to guess which animal you're listening to.  It's easy to play and was fun when visiting a local zoo with my 2 year old daughter but more importantly it's also great fun for parents too! 

The application was designed to encourage development in both the use of modern technology and a child's knowledge of animal sounds.
