= Introduction = Development of small 2D games to help children with language disorder. A second objective is the recovery of the game data to determine the progression and the troubles experienced by children. In this way, we can understand their cognitive abilities and find better ways to help them.

= Team =


 * Tutors : Olivier Richard, Marion Dohen, Estelle Gillet-Perret, Amelie Rochet-Capellan


 * Members : Mehdi NAIT-SIDOUS, Pierre-Henri GINOUX


 * Departement : RICM 4, Polytech Grenoble

= Links =


 * Kivy
 * Blog on architectural patterns in game code
 * Image resources
 * Wiki with a lot of links on serious game

= Project objectives = Le but du projet est de développer une application comprenant des mini jeux qui permettent d'évaluer scientifiquement si la gestualité manuelle peut aider des enfants présentant des troubles communicatifs à mieux apprendre de nouveaux mots. Une fois cette phase effectuée, il s'agira ensuite de finaliser afin de proposer un outil facilement utilisable à un maximum d'utilisateurs implémentant une méthode d'apprentissage de nouveaux mots en utilisant la gestualité manuelle.

Il faut garder à l'esprit que le jeu n'est qu'une composante du logiciel, nous allons donc dans un premier temps implémenter un jeu simple mais qui permettra de tester toute les composantes de l'application.

Objectifs pour le premier prototype de jeu : A REMPLIR

Objectifs pour l'application :
 * Système de login pour identifier l'utilisateur de manière unique
 * Facilité d'ajouter un nouveau jeu dans l'application
 * Stockage des résultats en local
 * Possiblité d'envoyer les résultats sur un serveur Web
 * Possibilité de modifier la configuration pour chaque jeu (changer la difficulté, les images utilisées...)

 * Learning how SQLite works and can be use to store game data

Week 3 (January 27th - February 2th)

 * Reflexion about the class structure of the application
