HEALTHY FOOD QUEST

Abstract

This paper reports the work concerning the development of a computer game for the education and adventure genre. The Healthy Food Quest game implemented on the mobile platform. The game built using Unity Engine. The game uses VR box to display the game and controller to control the player movement. The game that is implemented may be able to help people know more about food that is categories in the food pyramid and healthy food. The reason we try to let people know is because from our research which is almost half of Malaysian people overweight. We come up with the idea with games where items are being collected from their hiding place to complete a mission. An item within the game world that can be collected by a player. These items are sometimes called pick-ups. Only collect healthy food is not enough to learn about what food that is categories in the food pyramid. So, we come up with the idea to fill some of the foods that are disappearing from the food pyramid. Every time the player collects the food, the food pyramid will pop up to let the player know the food category in the food pyramid.
