Epigenigma

This game was made by Agapios (Pip) Kokkos, a GCU 4th year Computer Games’ (Design) student, as the main focus of his Honour’s Project Dissertation. 

Dr. Sophia Kouidou-Andreou, Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry, in the School of Medicine at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, kindly acted as his scientific advisor, providing guidance for the epigenetics content of the game, alongside the links to any relevant scientific material used to construct the models upon which the game is based.

The goal of structuring and constructing this game within the framework of an Honour’s Project was to demonstrate the use of academic materials and the role these have played in informing design decisions.
The game is intended for undergraduate genetics/epigenetics students. It aims to act as an introduction to epigenetics, and more specifically, as an educational tool for studying the process of DNA methylation.
