Shortcut Mechanic
Shortcut Mechanic aims to give the user levels and challenges based on how they went about completing simulations in a desktop environment. During the simulations, the game keeps track of areas where "missed opportunities" are possible, and observes what the player does during these areas. Based on what the player does, the game recommends levels and challenges based on their knowledge and ability to apply certain shortcuts. This allows the user to learn quicker, as this program not only caters to their learning skills, but also allows them to bypass the learning process for skills they already know, saving them time.
Innovative Claim
Shortcut Mechanic is innovative because it uses a learning process that keeps track of missed opportunities to suggest the user puzzles and challenges that will effectively teach them Windows shortcuts.
