Orienteering 2.0 Live

Orienteering 2.0 (OL 2.0) tries to simulate the orienteering sport in a virtual 3D environment. It allows beginner to experience orienteering or to practise some skills with a mobile phone without going to a forest. 2 modes, Event and Training, are available. Training mode has features that let runner practise different skills independently. When ready, a runner can challenge the Event mode, which simulate the real sport as much as possible. That means, the runner has to manual set map with a compass and rotate body to change forward direction. Simulated orienteering experiences: - Forest terrain + with trees, rocks and bushes - Cross-country type orienteering - Control points(CP) punching - Map with contour lines and common colours - Set Map + with a true compass and requires body rotation to change forward direction - Step counting + fixed 1 step 1 meter - Clue Sheet + show distance in meter between successive CP's in column H - Result Sheet - CP's of other course - Night orienteering - Orienteering in foggy conditions Application features - Game zone (VZ) is a virtual 3D forest - Compass syncs with the forward direction of VZ - Event mode simulates the real sport - Training mode includes 3 assistive features + select to show current position on map + select manual or auto set map (sync map to compass north) + select either Compass Control or Swip screen to rotate VZ direction - Run app in both portrait or landscape device modes and can change anytime during the game - Design to running in both mobile phone and tablet - "Information" page brief some major aspects of the sport and the app. Note - before first time run, calibration of device compass may be needed, also ensure no magnetic or metallic objects are around - only the basic contour lines are shown, i.e. no slope line, form line and, index contour, ... - to emphasize the sport nature, in Event mode runner can only rotate the body to change direction in the VZ, so cannot run the game when sitting on a chair - if the device compass is not working probably, a runner can only use the swipe screen feature in Training mode to change direction - this App has too much details for most mobile device screens, so we suggest runners take a rest to relax the eyes after each course - drawing terrain consumes a considerable amount of power, make sure to reserve enough power for the device to perform its primary role. - we suggest each runner tries at most 5 courses daily, that will keep both the eyes and the device battery healthy. This app is ads-support, so ads will be shown from time to time, especially during break time. We welcome feedback. Feel free to share your experiences. That helps us to improve.
