描述
Turtles Must Eat is a web-based therapeutic game designed for children aged 4–12 with cerebral palsy, autism, or other motor impairments. Players use adapted or standard controls to guide a turtle catching food — a fun, repetitive hand-eye coordination exercise proven to help build motor skills.
Built on the DCAI L3 blockchain, every therapy session is rewarded with an NFT badge (Bronze, Silver, or Gold based on score). These badges are permanently stored on-chain and can be verified by parents, doctors, and therapists. Parents can redeem badges at partner stores for therapy tools, sensory toys, and school supplies — turning every minute of play into a real-world reward.
Play -> Improve -> Earn -> Redeem.
本次黑客松进展
During this hackathon, our team of three built Turtles Must Eat from scratch. Here's what we accomplished:
Designed and developed the full web game using Godot Engine, exported as an HTML5 package
Integrated MetaMask wallet connection via DCAI L3 blockchain
Built a smart contract that receives game scores and mints NFT badges on-chain (Bronze 50+, Silver 100+, Gold 200+)
Implemented badge display in the game UI that lights up upon receiving the NFT
Designed all game assets digitally in-house
Validated the core therapy concept with published research (Green et al. 2009, de Aguilera et al. 2003)
Developed a full business plan including tiered redemption model and roadmap to revenue
The prototype successfully completes the full loop: a child plays, a score is submitted to the blockchain, a transaction is approved, and an NFT badge is minted and displayed — all live on DCAI L3.
