Business Challenges

Managing project scope

Our dedicated developers faced the challenge of managing the project scope for Haiku. As the product owner's expectations evolved, the team had to ensure that the game's features and functionality remained within the agreed-upon scope while delivering an engaging and effective learning experience.

Adapting to changing requirements

As the Haiku project progressed, the product owner's requirements and expectations evolved. Program-Ace's dedicated developers had to be flexible and adaptable to accommodate these changes while ensuring that the game remained user-friendly and effective in teaching cybersecurity skills.

Ensuring effective communication

Our team had to communicate effectively with the product owner to understand their requirements and ensure that the game met all the expectations. Besides, the developers communicated effectively to coordinate tasks or share progress updates, which required concise communication.

Approach and Solution

Program-Ace's dedicated developers were tasked with improving the Haiku cybersecurity training game by implementing a user-friendly UI, refactoring the Load Scene feature, and creating the Popup Manager.

UI implementation. The team worked closely with the product owner to understand their requirements and implemented a more intuitive, user-friendly UI for the game. This work involved creating UI components using Unity and C# as well as utilizing RESTful APIs for communication with the server.
UI refactoring. The team refactored the UI to improve performance and make the game run more smoothly, including optimizing the code and reducing the number of unnecessary UI elements to minimize memory usage.
Load Scene refactoring. Our dedicated team improved the Load Scene to make the game load faster and run efficiently. We optimized the code and reduced unnecessary assets/scripts, enhancing error handling to prevent crashes.
Popup Manager. Program-Ace's developers created the Popup Manager to allow for seamless pop-ups and notifications within the Haiku app. We built a custom tool using Unity and C# to manage the display of pop-ups and messages.

In addition to these improvements, our team also fixed bugs in the game editor to ensure that levels could be created and edited without errors. Also, we crafted the tools to save the state of the game's computer network and file system, allowing users to save their progress as well as pick up where they left off. Finally, the team built an in-game web browser using HTML and UI components to allow users to access online resources related to cybersecurity.

Technology Stack

Our team used the Unity game engine and C# programming language to help Haiku create the game and its various features. This allowed them to design a rich, engaging user experience with smooth and responsive gameplay. In addition, we utilized RESTful APIs to enable the game to communicate with the server and retrieve data as needed, ensuring that the game could access the resources without being slowed down by unnecessary requests or data transfers.
