Battle of the zoos

For our second project at CMD we worked for dierenpark emmen, which is a zoo in the northern part of the Netherlands. The goal was to create a educational game aimed at kids aged between 8 and 16. We did not have enough time to finish the entire game, you can walk around to catch and release animals, and bring them to your zoo. When you release an animal in your zoo they will stop moving and the habitat will change.

The zoo in the upper left corner is yours, bring as many animals there as you can and you will see that customers will enter your zoo. You can catch an animal by walking towards it using the arrow keys. When you are close to an animal press 1 to catch it, you can release an animal by pressing 2. Every customer that walks through your zoo brings 10 points, which you can spend in the food menu. You can open and close the food menu by pressing 3, you can navigate the foodmenu using the arrow keys and press 4 to buy something.
