The Pack - NYSCI: A Computational Thinking Game for Saving the Environment

The Pack - NYSCI is a free open-world puzzle and survival game designed for iPhone users that focuses on ecological balance, computational thinking, and problem-solving. This game is developed by the New York Hall of Science under the Education & Reference category. The game is set in Algos, a future world where the ecosystems are damaged, and water and food are scarce. The objective of the game is to restore the environment to its balanced state by replenishing water sources and collecting varied seeds, and all this while learning about computational thinking.

The game begins with the player waking up in a barren land and accompanied by a "Pack" of creatures with special skills. The creatures can perform various functions like digging, moving, holding, grabbing, and bumping. The player has to collect seeds and bring water to dry areas using these skills. The game emphasizes the use of algorithms to perform complex tasks and overcome challenges. The player must learn various algorithms to find all the seeds and restore harmony to Algos. The game is supported by the JPB Foundation and the National Science Foundation under Grant No, and educational guidelines are available for free download from the developer's website.
