Ninjanitor

NinJanitor is a multiplayer augmented reality game which combines mundane housework with martial arts. In this game, the player takes the role of a "ninja janitor," who must clean the footprints of higher-ranking ninjas with cleaning rags to insure their stealthiness. The player gains control of a cleaning rag by striking it with a kunai, tossed from their Android phone. Once the kunai attaches itself to the rag, the player selects a destination for the cleaning rag, and summons a tiny ninja to drag it to this location. As the rag slides across the ground, it brushes up all the footprints in its path. More footprints spawn throughout the game. The player who cleaned the most footprints when the timer is up wins.

This game was developed by Jack Tang (Georgia Tech), Kevin Jones (Georgia Tech), Charmant Tan (Georgia Tech) and Leo Ceballos (SCAD) in the Qualcomm Augmented Reality Game Studio at Georgia Tech (‪http://www.argamestudio.org‬). This Qualcomm-funded research studio is a collaborative effort between the Augmented Environments Lab at Georgia Tech, and the Interactive Design and Game Development program at Savannah College of Art and Design. The Studio is led by Blair MacIntyre (GT), in collaboration with John Sharp (GT), Maribeth Gandy (GT) and Tony Tseng (SCAD).

This game was built for Android phones, using Unity3D and the Qualcomm AR SDK plugin (‪http://ar.qualcomm.com/‬).
