Hi everybody,
We are happy to present to you, after long hours of work, our Flagmania mockup.
You can watch it at this link: https://www.lucidchart.com/documents/view/4baf-f714-4fb921cd-8e09-09cd0abeb545
The mockup contains all 5 games at all game levels (opening and login screens, game menu, level selection, games and high scores screens).
Working Process:
At the beginning we planned on building the mockup with axure that we familiar with from other courses. But, when we realized that due to really tight schedule of both of us, we won’t be able to meet, we decided to look for another environment that will allow us to works collaboratively from different locations (and this is also a very important aspect of social learning), and that’s how we found lucidchart.com that allows trial account.
During the build, we were using the Berlin girls design from earlier steps of the project as the base to the build, that and the fact that lucidchart provides iphone ui components, were really helpful for us.
There were some difficulties during the build, part of it is the fact that the “Flagmania” idea contains a lot of games and levels and we wanted to make the mockup as detailed as we can, The biggest difficulty however, was the relatively small resolution of the iphone that made us make some changes to the games (for example, changing the size of board at the memory games to a bit smaller boards) but we believe we handled it pretty well.
a bit about the Mockup:
** at each step on the mockup, you can press the “Show Hotspots” button in the upper right corner in order to view the available interactions on the current page.
- Home Screen:
- this screen will open after login to the app or at every click on the button on the top left corner.
- in this screen we can see the user name and the flag of the user country, log-out option and links to all 5 games.
- Games Screens:
- after selection a game from the list, in 5 out of 5 cases the user will be directed to select the game difficulty or watch the high scores page.
- after selecting the difficulty the user will be directed to the selected game and difficulty.
- when selecting the 5th game – GPS Questioning, the user will first be directed to locating screen where he will be asked to approve his location and from there the user will be directed to select the game difficulty
- High Scores:
- the high-scores screen will display the top 5 users and their scores for each game level
(Memory-Starter, Memory-Advanced etc.).
- the high-scores screen will display the top 5 users and their scores for each game level
Please let us know what you think,
Shiran and Na’ama.

Very good work you two. The interactive mockups make the games much clearer and I guess all the other teams get a much better impression of your idea now.

Mockups complete or are there some missing aspects? What do i like about the Mock-Ups?
In my opinion the Mockups are complete. I´m surprise how detailed are the first mock-ups. You have the chance to get an impression of every Game which they prepared. The structure is really good.
And it´s so sweet that you can find the little app- symbol between the other and choose the game. When you start the app you come to the login area. Then you come to the overview of the different games.
Maybe one little idea: Is it possible the app decides which difficulty is important for the user? The User maybe hasn´t play the game for a long time and don´t remember how good he is in this game.
If you choose a game you have to cathegorized yourself in a difficulty. What´s happend if i don´t remember or if i always underrate myself.
Maybe it´s better the app is able to cathegorized the user based on the points,or? I don´t know- it´s only an idea.
The Design of the Mock -Ups is very clean and based on a darker colour. That is nice, because the user is able to catch the Flags.
The Flags a really coloured and you have to be concentrate if you will emboss the different looks of the flags.
Even though they have the big european map they are able to present it on the little screen. I don´t think thats a too small view. And the user is able to bring it in a bigger view with zooming.
And also the boards in the Memory Game are not too small- don´t be scary, you handle it very well!
Do i understand the idea of flagmania?
I really like the idea of flagMania. I have a Poster on the wall where you can see the map of the world and under this picture you see all the flags of the countries.
I never learned that even though i excercise myself in repeating so often. 😉
The different Games offer different aspects of learning. In the Game Colourstation i´m able to learn how the Flags look like. What colour and symbols they have.
In the Game Europe Map i check my geography knowledge. Where are the different countries and which flag belongs to them.
The other both, Memory and Texturize helps me on a funny gaming way to remember what i´ve learned. I have the possibility to improve myself on a playful way.
Also the steps of difficulty are good. With every next step you have to be able to solve the problems with the knowledge the previous steps are given.
Overthat you have a ranking with other people. So your ambition is to be on a high position in this challenge with other players. But thats a point i doesn´t understand so well.
Do i also play with other people in this Games? Maybe my Facebook Friends try to learn with me? Or do i compare with people i doesn´t know, but they are also registered in the app?
I think the High Score Ranking is a nice way to cheer someone. When he´s lost the position he will play the games so often until he winning his position back. Thats really nice!
I also think it´s a good idea to learn at first only the flags of europe. You demand the user without overstrain him. I also like the point that the team takes care of her possibility´s.
You dicuss the way your app has to be. If it would be a naitive, web or hybrid app. Also your Blopost about the technological Strack show´s that your deep in the content an want to delete mistakes as fast as you can.
Which is my favorite Part of the idea
I really like the GPS Game because you can check your knowledge about your own country.
Furthermore you get some details about other countries espacially when your in holiday and visit some other countries. Thats a point which makes your app really unique!
One little idea: i would like to have some little more informations about the different countries. I know you want to support the users knowledge only about the different flags.
But maybe in the game Europe Map you can give some informations when i put the flag on the right country (like population, capital city, area or head of government).
But all in all- i really like your app and i´m surprise about your detailed first mock-ups…i´m looking forward to you next prototype. Really good work team 3
