I have been wanting to make an educational biology game that users can play, but I suck at the creative part of designing.

As a bio student, I noticed a huge lack of biology games that could make the content both fun and understandable. I want to try and create one, but I am not sure how I should do it.

If you were trying to learn biology or a tough subject, what would you look for in an app? What types of things would you want to see? anything is helpful :)

I am getting into gaming development, and I want to make a biology based learning game that is fun and interactive.

There are so many games for other subjects that are exciting, but biology/science is really lacking. There are websites, but they are all old or boring.

I have had the idea to create a learning app for science that is free, but I am not even sure where to start and I feel so lost on the creative part of app development, so I wanted to ask.

What would you look for in a science videogame/app that would make the content feel digestable and cool? This could be UI ideas, game ideas, or anything along that line.

Trigger warning for like some medical stuff

When I was in 7th grade, I finally (after tons of failed attempts) inserted a tampon in for the first time. It took a long time and was very painful (nothing had ever been up there). A few hours later when I tried to take it out, it was stuck, and so after waiting the entire night and trying to take it out, we decided to go the ER.

When Dr. Robinson walked in, he put on his gloves and said “I’m sure your mom told you what’s about to happen.” I was 12, and we had no clue what he was talking about. Without saying a word, he slid a chair up to where I was in the stirrups, reached into a cabinet next to him, took something out, and started trying to shove it up my vagina. Now, as an adult, I can recognize it as a speculum, but as a kid I had no clue what it was.

He started trying to shove it up with no warning or talking to me, and it hurt like nothing before, so I start screaming bloody murder and try to crawl away from him while screaming at him to stop. He just has the nurse hold me down as he keeps going while I’m begging him to stop. Finally, after realizing it wasn’t working, he stopped and said “hm, maybe I should try a smaller size… maybe the junior one?” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. He had a small one this whole time but decided to try and use the adult one on me? He continues with the smaller one as I’m screaming and crying. He finally gets it out. Then he stands up, throws it away, and looks over his shoulder at me to say “you should probably wait a week before trying a tampon again”. I tried to ask why this happened, but he literally waved me off and walked out.

After that, I didn’t trying putting anything up there for years, and I was diagnosed with vaginismus. Well… it turns out I had an imperforate hymen, meaning i literally had gotten the tampon into the tiny tiny hole (smaller than a pencil eraser tip), and it got stuck, and he pried it out of my body.

Even now that im fixed and had a surgery for my hymen, I still get really afraid of going near my vagina and can’t seem to get a tampon in and almost pass out every time I try.

I am not sure how to catalog this experience? I know it was bad, but I don’t know if it was sexual assault bc he didn’t get off on it. But also it was so violating due to it being my vagina and consent that just calling it assault seems off, but I don’t want to offend anyone by using a term that doesn’t belong to me if that makes sense. It’s only been a few years since this happened and I don’t talk about it much except when I’m joking about it because it’s too hard to talk about.

Sorry this was so long
