ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I truly believe that what comes first will have the tendency to make a revolutionary shift in the system. I want to acknowledge this project to Pakistan Highway Code booklet – Issued by the Ministry of Communications Government of Pakistan and to my sister for her suggestions made a significant contribution to the accuracy and clarity of the diagrams.

PREFACE The idea of 2D Car Racing for fun came when i saw Pakistan Highway Code Sign lying on my desk drawer. i picked up it was neat, clean and not even a turn on the pages. I started turning pages to check the content and eureka i found a small paper written "Someday, i will make a game". What’s the best time then now. So, i tiled this topic for my final project - MBA(MIS), Virtual University of Pakistan. I really like to thank instructor of the subject for accepting this topic and given me a chance to make an effort for my dream.

CHAPTER 1

(Background & Introduction)

7|Page

CHAPTER 1 – Background and Introduction BACKGROUND RACE FOR FUN (RFF) - is a flash car racing game based on the principles of Pakistan Highway Codes, completely fun. It includes a virtual environment for player to race, explore, have fun and learn codes to accomplish the task of the game Why this topic is selected ? I select this topic to motivate students to learn more about Pakistan Highway Codes in a fun manner . The basic web base interface can collect data in order to maintain demographic study of the people who are interested in this subjected car racing games. How this topic is related with MIS ? MIS deliver management based report to improvise efficiency in organizational structure, based on this. RFF helps collecting data user with a single interface, which can be manipulated afterwards.

INTRODUCTION OF THE ORGANIZATION & PROJECT RFF is the topic for Final Project at Virtual University of Pakistan. This project provide a comprehensive detailed analysis of cases, classes, data flow diagram models, design methodologies, also you can use this documentation for future references also. What existing resources available for this project? Obviously, my work is based on originality, but tools such as Adobe Flash, Photoshop, Macromedia Dreamweaver, Pakistan Highway Code Booklet and world wide web is available. And teacher guidance through VULMS. What Existing resources lacking? Interactivity – Before this type of project are design standalone with different intensions; either a complete racing game or a sample questionnaire regarding what are the preferences in buying car and additionally quizzes in different networks how well you know traffic codes. I believe by placing all three things together help s player to learn and have fun while playing.

What are the Problems and Challenges? My main goal for this project is to design all needed diagrams in a specified duration of time. Along with, the case diagram which require mandatory correction. Specifically, i want to create a Karachi city environment where players can race in a given period of time and learn as much as possible with fun. Player can also share this game or refer this game to a friend. This is a flash based project; the main problem with flash that it is dependent. It can't be function without specifying application software. This problem resolved through web interface. What I hope from this project? I want all the readers of this project to know the whole process of how web base environments combined together with a flash application to bring interactivity and the whole function of user and server connection between them.

CHAPTER 3 – DESIGN DOCUMENT

OVERVIEW (OF SYSTEM) There are different types of environment in this Race for Fun game. First one is virtual through web server which just take data into record to KYC (Know Your Customer), In other word, apart from game data is collected on demographic basis that the player is interested in car. The game world consists of several locations to make up the streets of Karachi city. The game is not based on any historically accurate map of the city. The game world is entirely built from my own imagination and design. The physical world consists of areas and streets. Areas are linked to other areas, and street crossing those areas. Some objects have been created, used, or manipulated, but other objects are static, and serve only as scenery. though game characteristics would allow players to immerse themselves in the RFF World. Objectives of the game The objective of the game is to aware audience with the traffic rules and regulations. Scenario of the game The scenario is that Player – is a student of VU and he is late for his final term papers. There is only 20 minutes left and you have to race your car from MA Jinnah to Baloch Colony Key Locations in the game  MA Jinnah Street  Quaid-e-Azam Mazhar  Jail Chorangi  Bahadurabad Chorangi  Balouch Colony

20 | P a g e

Traveling in the game Player can travel between location by keyboard pressing keys such as Up, Down, Left and Right. There are no different areas in the game to be played. Direction in the games will be provided by Pakistan Highway Code Standards, The game uses only minimum level of codes.

(Analysis)

CHAPTER 4 - ANALYSIS

PROJECT BENEFITS In economics it is said that when Marginal Social Cost = Marginal Social Benefits than it becomes equilibrium. This project is very much economical. Apart from Hosting Charges there is no additional cost involves. MSC = MSB Secondly, the game is free to download and play, Now, we can say that Player after playing RFF educate themselves with Highway Codes along with fun which will be equal to cost of driving a car with the more powerful knowledge of reading road signs. As its says

“The society achieves the highest total benefit when the marginal benefits of all the activities becomes equal.”

Peoples from all profession will get benefited Peoples from all ages will get benefited And in future if data collected from this website will be efficient than it can be used to market new car related product. Hence, Project is benefited in the long run.

42 | P a g e

CONCLUSION Based on the fact that RFF offers a good interactivity with existing functionality, i can assume that it has a good chance to grabs many users.

By observation i can conclude that RFF with no restriction and good audio support will make a environment for young’s to learn about traffic. This game is only for environments where the user can access to the internet, and downloadable version is also available.

43 | P a g e

RECOMMENDATION Always give it a try approach, before making comments I believe that gaming is a conceptual design, for a players it’s a virtual world but for a developer it’s how he make efficient use of key presses, key release and loop.
