Design

This is an article on the creation of the www.bustit.app game. What follows is a discussion with the original creator of the game on how it all started: Why did you come up with the idea of bustit? About four years ago my grandchildren had a problem with their maths and had a lack of interest in it. So i created a game that would hopefully stimulate their interest in learning.

As discussed previously in a blog, bust it started out as a game played on paper. How could this translate to an app that could reach a wider audience? Aspects of a paper version don't necessarily translate to the electronic version (Ie limited screen space on a mobile phone). The medium also expands the possibilities of its capabilities (ie sharing challenges on social media). The original game designer had no experience of electronic game development.
