Enhancements
Create Your Own Crime Scenes
Could the students be able to create their own games?

This prompted the idea of creating a separate "Crime Scene Editor" in which the students could create the descriptions of the 20 locations and save them to disk. The addition of a Load Scene option will need to included on the case files screen.

Other extensions to this idea could allow for the students to:

  • select from an additional set of weapons (eg: historical or futuristic implements) which would suit the genre of the scenes created
  • create their own alibi responses
  • create the range of possible suspect actions
  • draw their own maps

If the above extensions were to be considered the main issues to be addressed would be that of data storage and retrieval. Provided that the raw data was constructed within easy-to-follow but reasonably strict guidelines (ie: layout techniques, replaceable variable data codes within text, etc.) then this would be a feasible project.
