BiochemCity vs CramMap

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.
