[Tux4kids-discuss] gsoc applicant

[Abhinav Kaushal Keshari]

Dear Sir,

I am a first year B.Tech student of Electronics and Communication
Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee (IIT Roorkee) with a
CGPA of 9.9.

I would like to contribute to the TUX4ME. I have a good knowledge of PHP,
MySQL, HTML, CSS, Javascript, JQuery, C++, Ajax , Bootstrap, Node.Js, and I
am familiar with MVC application architecture and UX. I have also worked
with git and a have contributed in making a ebook library for our college
which uses a great amount of PHP. I am very comfortable with Web
Development and making apps from scratch.
I also have some great ideas related to each sub-topic upon which a game
can be made.
Like:
->Speed=How fast a child can identify a color, there is a maze made up of
tiles and as soon a particular tile is reached child has to press the
button.
->Memory=We all have played a game of remembering cities in school and
converting this to a web game will be a great idea with impressing pictures
and graphics.
->Reasoning=There will be two snakes (starting from different positions)
following you and you have to confuse them in such a way that they collide
to each other.
->Attention=A small audio can be played followed by questions.

Plus, the user profile can also contain the improvement in his performance
with time. The rating would also be with not just the scores but will also
consider the age of the child as it won't be fare to compare a child with a
age gap of more than 2-3 years!

Sorry for a late mail but I planned to first find out a real plan which can
be implemented. And all the plans that I have suggested can be made and I
have properly looked at all the ways in which this can be done. There are
many other secondary ideas which can be implemented.

Adding to this I also think that Maths and mind exercise are inter-related.
So I also think that to these mind exercises we can add mathematics and
logical questions. This won't be a complete maths question but a well
framed question which requires thinking and logical ability.
The way a question has to be presented is also important so that the user
enjoys while using it. UI and UX are important I have plans for that as
well!

Here are some more ideas for the games that can we make with examples. The
examples are just for what kind of the game it will be. It will be worked
upon and make a better different version.

Memory:

Speed: Typing speed can also help in providing this, so we can make it a
bit interesting rather than simple typing. The user will be provided with 4
sentences and the user has to type type the correct statement as fast as
possible.

I have made a rough idea of all the features the app will have. The games
that it has that you can find in my first mail. Plus I have also planned to
have Ego's formula for rating the player.

Will you suggest any prerequisite that I should work on or plan for the
project.

I had also send this before directly to the mentor.

I have also submitted a proposal, kindly review it and provide some
feedback.

Thank You
