Lease on Life
What is this?
Lease on Life is Katie Jostes' capstone project for Elon University's Interactive Media (iMedia) graduate program.
It is a game meant to allow players to step into the lives of those most impacted by the United States' healthcare policies, with the hope of being a tool to aid in advocacy for the adoption of a universal or single-payer healthcare system.
How was it made?
I coded all of this myself, using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and a touch of JSON.
There are 2195 lines of code in this project.
