Our app starts off with a short quiz. The quiz will determine how the player will use the app initially. The first question is about gender, age, height and weight and the second is about how experienced/active the user is physically. This will decide the base intensity for the user. The preferred intensity will be a variable that decides the level of intensity based on the base intensity. Then there are other questions like if the user want to focus on weight loss and/or has a bike that is often used. The app will strive to streamline itself to accommodate those needs.
The Quiz’s purpose is mainly to find a suitable start intensity for the user, but it is also useful for estimating how quickly the user is able to progress physically. Older people may not be able to progress physically as fast as young people for example. People who have experience beforehand but have been sedentary for a while may also have an advantage, and other people who are still active physically may be close to plateauing and are already at a high level of intensity but are progressing very slowly.
The surroundings also plays a big role as that affects how the user will be placing the outposts. Someone who lives on the country-side may be limited on how many roads to walk on and places the user can place outposts on compared to someone who lives in a city. How this will be balanced is a limit on outposts. Countryside outposts are more limited than city outposts but are more effective and stronger since there are fewer of them.
