A financial simulation Android app that challenges users to make difficult decisions based on their social, physical, and financial situations.
Inspiration:
We wanted to make an app so that it is easily accessible to our audience: young adults who can learn the basics of financial education while balancing the other aspects of their life in simulated real life situations. Players are assigned a character from a random background (i.e. a business woman with 3 kids who lives in NYC, a retired lady with medical bills for her arthritis, etc). You are asked questions in a quiz-like format and must make decisions as that person with their given restrictions.
What it does:
It educates users on the compromises one might need to consider to maintain a balance of financial, social, and physical well-being.
How we built it:
Android Studio, Pixel 2 API, Java, Git
Challenges we ran into:
Passing data from each Android activity; division of labor.
Accomplishments that we're proud of:
Making a functioning app in less than 12 hours.
What's next for FinSim:
Potential features include physical, social, and financial status bars to facilitate in decision-making and customizable avatars.
