In my final project, I showcase somewhat of a Covid-19 Precaution Simulation. The user is situated in the right side of the window and with the refreshing of the page, red virus balls and green mask/safety balls appear. The red viruses will come across the page at different speeds and sizes to symbolize the various ways of possibly contracting Covid-19. Hovering over the green safety orbs will help the users glowing shield to grow larger and brighter. As the shield grows, the viruses will be eliminated; at one point due to the immense “precautions and safety measures” that have been collected/taken by the user, the viruses die before reaching the shield, signifying that we can never be too safe in these times.
