Tasks

• Add In Advice Action for Player
• Implement the difficulty curve by adding more STIs to handle.

Summary

I started this week by adding in a way to activate different topics on certain days, I added in a way to do this through the modifications sciptable object I already had. I added in a description to the activation to give some more information to the player, which currently constist of puns and jokes related to each STI as they are displayed in a social media style.

This gives me the beginnings of a difficulty curve as the longer the user plays, the more STIs they have to identify and treat in patients.

Next I added in an information popup for afflictions (STIs), so they when they are activated, the player can open the popup and gain some more information about the STI they are going to encounter, this should give them a starting point to remmbering the symptoms of each STI.

I also added in the advice action I wanted to add, for more complex situations or for afflictions that have a custom action that shouldn’t realistically be placed on the desk. For example, the treatment for pubic lice is to buy some special shampoo from a pharmacy, a sexual health clinic may have this on hand, but it is also likely that they would direct the patient to a pharmacy instead.

Next Steps
