Last thanksgiving, I attended a Google developer conference and got really excited and tried my hand at making a trivia game for andoroid phones. The message was "Voice is the new Search" which meant in the past "Search" revolutionized the internet , similarly, now due to smartphones, everything is moving to voice applications and developers should focus on developing "voice apps"
I used the tutuorial from
I used the tutuorial from
and made this trivia game on the android phone about mahabharata, an epic story written 5000 years back in India, which
- asks you a trivia question about the events from the epic in voice,
- you give it a reply(in voice or text) and then
- it answers back(voice and text) whether the reply was correct or not, voices more information about the question and then moves on to the next question
This will probably work only for me because I have to logged in to the console, So this is a screenshot of how the interaction will actually go
Pros:
- It took me less than 30 minutes to create the game and all it needs is a spreadsheet with
- question
- answer
- hint
- followup
- spreadsheet for the game
- There was no coding involved. and the possibilities are endless for creating fun educational games for all ages.
Cons:
- The only piece I need to figure out is how to deploy the games and make then available to family, friends and the world at an affordable price.
