## What is BiochemCity?

BiochemCity is a language-independent mobile application that breaks the past practice and tries to provide a new concept to teach biochemical core material (biochemical reactions and network). BiochemCity guides the user through a labyrinthine network of metabolic pathways in a revolutionary edutainment environment, providing a successful alternative learning strategy. The concept is based on the fact that metabolic pathways can be conceived as a real road network, plastically illustrating the metabolic connection points, the junctions, the real connections between the parts that are far apart in the curriculum or the textbooks. We are building a 3D city on this map, which creates the background of the application. In this cosy night city, the user has to find his/her way with street lamps built-in mini-games (150+), each of which hides a biochemical reaction. Successfully solving and practising the reactions on that graphical interface (turning on the street lamps) leads to the discovery of the whole city, that is, to master the matter (more light, more knowledge). 
Since the curriculum is only displayed on the graphical level/interface, (language interface is not required to use it), it can be used in any language environment.

### 1/5 — Sad

*2025-01-11*

This is sooo so so so cool I wish it worked :( when I start at hexokinase it doesn’t accept the right answer

### 1/5 — Not working on the first level

*2024-11-04*

I can’t add the phosporus on the C6 of glucose so I can’t go on with the game, please solve it cause I think it would be useful to relax while studying

### 1/5 — does not work

*2024-02-21*

starts but first question according to hexokinase does nit work

### 1/5 — not reacting

*2023-03-30*

the app does not respond to any answers

### 5/5 — Da Bomb 💥

*2022-07-27*

Just finished the CooooL game.
Super idea, intuitively clear interface and visualization of process interconnections.

Lehninger's biochemistry can be like a country ))

Authors - many thanks 

looking forward to continuing 🌎

### 3/5 — I Like the Concept...

*2022-07-24*

But everytime i try to start it i doesn‘t load and kicks me out of the App

### 4/5 — Really useful resource

*2022-06-08*

Really helpful for revision and it is quite fun. Needs more tutorial though, or a way to walk you through each mechanism

## Frequently asked questions about BiochemCity

### What is BiochemCity's learning methodology?

BiochemCity uses an edutainment approach, visualizing metabolic pathways as a 3D city. Users learn by solving over 150 mini-games, each representing a biochemical reaction, to unlock more of the city and their knowledge.

### How does BiochemCity track user progress?

Progress is visualized through the discovery of the 3D city. As users successfully solve mini-games and learn reactions, more of the city is illuminated, symbolizing increased knowledge and mastery of the subject matter.

### Is BiochemCity available in multiple languages?

BiochemCity is designed to be language-independent. The curriculum is displayed on a graphical interface, meaning it can be used effectively in any language environment without requiring a specific language interface.

### What devices does BiochemCity support?

BiochemCity is available on iPhone and iPad devices. It is designed for iOS users who want to learn biochemistry on their mobile devices.

### How often is BiochemCity updated?

BiochemCity was last updated on March 22, 2022, with version 1.0. Information on future update frequency is not currently available.
