Made with Applab on Code.org
We are both high school students in a Web Design class who are looking to make a change in the environment. With the app we've created, we hope that it educates and informs people about the consequences of plastic use, as well as ways to help combat it.
Our Inspiration
The challenges and issues we talk about are how marine life is negatively affected and the ocean is disturbed by the pollution we humans have caused. Many animals are killed because they get strangled or eat the trash, harming them. We also connect this on how it affects human because we consume fish that have micro plastic in them because of their eating habits.
Our project is about cleaning the ocean with a whack o-mole inspired game.
First you will go through the story of a Sea Lion in distress asking for help from you to help save his home. Larry the Sea Lion will go through explanations to educate you on what is happening to his home ocean and how it has been harming the animals living there. After agreeing to help him you will try and click on the plastic bottles under the ocean your scores will be visible.
We made this spot the difference game with the theme of pollution in mind. Created on GhostSchools.net Final Project. We added different obstacles and several items that changed in two images. Please try and play the game by hovering over it to spot the difference.
This simple spot the difference game shows how we are polluting this world and replacing clean plants to dirt and garbage. Some of the plants and animals had changed into garbage, symbolizing pollution on our Earth.
Spot the Difference!

Our Design Process
Our design process was that we mashed up ideas from our previous projects and created this game with the problem we chose. We first talked to each other about the ideas we had in our mind. It was confusing on what we will decide upon but we overcame it. After this we created a document to put our thoughts and dialogues into and we created a wireframe so there is no confusion between us.
Our projects has a talking sea lion that asks for help to a human for cleaning the ocean. He has many dialogues teaching us about the effects of ocean pollution and trying to convince you to help him. After you start agree to help you are sent under the ocean to clean up it's a whack o mole type game you have to click on the plastic bottle to accumulate points you can also lose points. After a few seconds the game ends and your final points is shown on the screen.
THANK YOU FOR VISITING OUR SITE!!
Reflection
​
The results of our project was mostly what we predicted we wanted something dialogue like. We wanted a decision based game but because of limited amount of time we had. Our work is educational it informs more people to be aware of the environment and the consequences of plastic use and pollution. We also add organizations and places you can donate to help fund cleaning of the ocean.
