Rulez

A G2 Driving Simulator App

Introduction

• Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed passengers of the journey to automotive mastery, please fasten your seatbelts, for we are proud to introduce you to the most remarkable and pioneering driving simulator ever created, specifically made to educate new drivers. We're thrilled to introduce you to Road Rulez!
• Our team of expert developers has been hard at work crafting a game that is not only stunningly realistic but also packed with features designed to help new drivers learn the skills they need to stay safe on the road. With advanced algorithms, real-world physics simulations, and intuitive controls, our driving game is the ultimate tool for anyone looking to improve their driving skills or simply have some fun behind the wheel.
• The driving simulator provides a unique opportunity for learners to experience real-life driving scenarios in a safe and controlled environment online. From navigating through busy city streets to handling angry parking lots, the simulator offers a range of scenarios that allow learners to develop their skills and build confidence behind the wheel.
• Each scenario is designed to be as realistic as possible, with detailed graphics and accurate physics simulations. Learners can even experience unexpected events, such as sudden stops or mechanical failures, which help them develop the reflexes and decision-making skills needed to stay safe on the road.

Inspiration

• Road Rulez is a game made to help prepare new drivers with the knowledge they need to pass their G1/G2
• Our inspiration for the game was the lack of helpful tools we have found when looking for G1/G2 tests
• The goal of our game is to be both engaging and educational

Knowledge

Learned

• We learned how to work with touch events using Pygame
• Create a big map with a camera that follows the player
• Find and fix bugs quickly
• User experience design: understanding how someone else would enjoy playing (including adding support for touch-screen or mobile users)
• Input devices using events for keyboard

Challenges

• The car drove off the screen, resulting in the screen appearing on the opposite end
• The steering wheel would not rotate in the proper direction or move the car
• The accelerator and brake pedals were not triggered during touch events and did not accelerate or brake more efficiently the longer they were held
• Compiling the app into an Android app was also challenging, as none of the team members had prior experience
