MPERPG, the Multi-Player Educational Role Playing Game, was created for Air University to promote teamwork and encourages the students to take on a leadership role throughout a series of minigames. 

Outcomes and Additional Information

• The project features mini games with different scenarios that require teamwork, split information among the players, include extraneous information in descriptions, and enforce a time limit to complete the mini game objectives. The games promote leadership, coordination, communication, and teamwork. 

  • • The maze mini game is a randomly generated maze that features other randomized elements, including where the exit is (spawned at game beginning), where players start the game. The users must work together to successfully complete the maze. 

    • The minefield mini game also features a randomly generated environment with a goal of getting all of the players safely across the minefield. Any mine explosions cause the game to restart. 

    • The goal of the bridge mini game is to have all players meet in the middle of the environment. Although crates can be moved, others players do not see who is moving them, and the players must avoid falling into water and triggering obstacles like missiles.

  • The application allows character customization and the logging of timing and event information.

  • Future work will include additional games, virtual reality capabilities, and third-person viewpoints.
