How It Works?
- First, we collect the name of the player.
Log In ScreenShot
- Now, user will tap the "Start Game" button and the location of user will be retrieved using GPS of Lenovo* IdeaCentreā¢ Horizon All-in-One (AIO).
-
Getting Location:
Geolocator loc = new Geolocator();
loc.DesiredAccuracy = PositionAccuracy.High;
Geoposition pos = await loc.GetGeopositionAsync();
- Categories: Colors name, Birds name, Animals name, Instruments name, etc. User can select any category.
- Now the main screen of MixUp Puzzle Game opens, where some alphabets are randomly moving here and there.
- User has to keep up with those alphabets and put them in the right place to complete level.
- Here Timer counts time in seconds.
- Once the user places alphabets in the right position, for example, suppose there are 6 blank boxes and user placed alphabet "O" "R" "A" "N" "G" "E" in order, Big Box turns to orange colour according to object name.
- Used metro UI of Windows 8 to show dialog boxes.
- And finished game? Then share your score on your social networking site, using Windows 8 social networking tools...
