Internship TU-Berlin, ViaMaterialia

Role: Programming, Game Design

I worked on the project “ViaMaterialia” where i coded a lecture game for the students of materials engineering. The game itself is separated into two levels with different levels of difficulty. In the first one you have to melt a broken piece via Bunsen Burner and mold. In the second one you have to melt again a broken piece and mold it to a new one but then you need to stretch the newly molded piece in a tension testing machine. The game will help the students to internalise the learned subject matter. ——————————————— Ich habe am Projekt “ViaMaterialia” gearbeitet, wofür ich ein Lernspiel zur Unterstützung des Unterrichts in der Werkstofftechnik programmieren durfte. Das Spiel selbst ist aufgeteilt in zwei Level mit verschiedenen Schwierigkeitsgraden. Im ersten Level muss man ein kaputtes Bauteil mithilfe eines Bunsenbrenners einschmelzen und anschließend in eine Gussform gießen um das Level zu schaffen. Im zweiten Level muss man ebenfalls ein kaputtes Bauteil einschmelzen und neu gießen, allerdings muss man hier anschließend das neue Teil in einer Zugprüfmaschine ziehen. Das Spiel wird die Studierenden dabei unterstützen den Lernstoff zu verinnerlichen.

TU-Berlin Internship, ViaMaterialia: Willkommen

The version which I began to work on

The final version of the game

The 2D look of the Bunsen Burner with crucibles on them where you have to melt an alloy so you can use that molted alloy to create a new gearwheel.

3D version of the Bunsen Burner in "Normal" color mode

3D version of the Bunsen Burner in “colorblind” color mode

A mold for a gearwheel.
Basically I had to code a slot where the player can drag anything inside but only when a heated, filled crucible is inside it, it will then begin to cool off

The laptop screen to show the cooling process of the crucibles.
This one was pretty tuff to deal with. First of all I had to give data to a graph component which then uses the data in "real-time" to draw the cooling lines. The size of the graph can be edited outside the game itself so the professors can easily change the data depending on the data used inside their learning books.

An easy quiz which wants to know which failure is name there
