Space Apps Challenge 2017

Many countries suffer from landslides including mudslides that lead to many casualties and financial losses because of the lack of awareness on how to deal with them. As many as 11500 people died from the mudslides between 2007-2010.

To increase awareness about mudslides, we decided to make a game that puts the player in a virtual mudslide experience and tells him how to deal with the danger and finish the game with the least possible damages. The game contains many levels, each one gives you a cause from the many causes for mudslides and tells you the best action to do in order to stop damages. For example, on the first level the player has to build retaining walls in order to stop mudslides that occur as a result of heavy rain or floods. So the player has to detect the actual cause -which is the rain -in order to choose the right solution-building the wall-. also, extra points will be given for extra actions such as saving other lives or being able to figure the cause and it’s solution in the shortest possible time.

After the player is done with all levels, he will be able to know the causes of landslides and how to help prevent them. Moreover, in real life if such disaster happens, he will be prepared to act correctly in order to survive and help others.

Finally, we hope that with this game we will help raise awareness on landslides and how to prevent them for the future that is yet to come.
