Metaphor-World MSc Source

Metaphor World is the game I created for my MSc thesis: an interactive code-as-metaphor game. The goal was to test student's understandings of certain concepts by having them take on the role of code-interpreter.

Technologies used

For any academic writing:

  • LaTeX
  • Lyx
  • BibTeX

Images were made using Paint.Net

Developer technologies:

  • Visual Studio
  • C#
  • XNA
  • WPF

The game jerry-rigs a WPF form into being half of an XNA game's front end.

Not Maintained

This repo is not being maintained, or updated, I've made it available in case anyone wants to reference (or build on) my thesis's concept.

It was migrated from a private Git server, hence the missing commit history.

To any future users/readers

This code was written before I had learned about code styles, or proper design in general... looking at it now, the implementation is embarrassingly naive. Sorry about that.

Literature

Any literature included in this repo is there for any fellow Academics' convenience. I don't own any of it, and don't have distribution rights.
