This week’s assignment, I wanted to integrate the Whack a Mole game into an educational game. My audience is first graders, and the target goal is to recall vowels. I labeled the holes with vowels, so while the child plays the game, they are always viewing the vowels. The use of this app will help the child identify and recite vowels. The user receives points when they touch the mole in the vowel hole. The phone will vibrate for 500 milliseconds. I changed the background to green and used Adobe Illustrator to add vowels below the hole image I found online. I also set the screen to initialize block to have the mole move between the five holes when the application starts.

The APK can be found here.
