High School Homework

High School Homework is a student homework simulator. The player takes the place of Bobby Johnson, a fifteen year old year 10 student in high school. Each day Bobby gets given a topic to write an essay about and its up to you, the player to make sure he passes!

Each level is a in game day, and the player must help Bobby progress and pass high school. Yes that means that you, the player must write an essay for every schooling day of Bobby's high school years! Each essay has a time limit of one hour to write and it will be graded upon punctuation, spelling and covering the topics needed. You, the player, must do you own study outside of game time to make sure that you have all the knowledge needed for the essay. A searching algorithm will check each essay for keywords that relate to the topic. The players essay will be graded either with a N (not achieved), A (achieved), M (merit), or E (excellence) as this is the normal NCEA system.

If the player continuously fails his essays his year average will drop, if this average is below an A by the end of a year then the player loses the game. This is the only fail state.

The player will win if Bobby Johnson somehow manages to graduate high school.
