Challenge Summary
Shopping spree! In this role-playing game, you can push your cart around the store to gobble up objects that will increase, decrease, multiply or divide your bill. Your job is to pick up the objects in the right order to hit the exact bill (no sales tax) you need in order to move on to the next store in the mall. To do that you'll need to scoot about and find the objects first, and then gobble them up in the correct order second. The Shopper Theme is not required, you can change it to whatever you think is cool, it just need to base this activity in collecting operands and operators (math expression game). We want this game to be beautiful, and can win you awards. But watch out! Division by 0 is undefined, and you never know what that might do to you...
This game is part of the CS-STEM initiative. The DARPA CS-STEM project will contain a number of different activities for users to participate in. We have a number of ideas that are going to be implemented, and one is the "Shopper Gobbler". This activity is intended for 13-18 year old demographic.
