School Lunch game for mobile devices

Abstract

A video game used on mobile devices (including, but not limited to, iOS and Android devices) whereby a user acts as a lunch lady and must slide graphical representations of food to oncoming waves of students, thereby keeping them from reaching the end of a lunch table before a timer expires. Each level contains more students, representing the progression from K-12 in a typical U.S. grade school setting; the user has the ability to obtain different food items between levels to use in the game.

1 . I hereby claim that the School Lunch game for mobile devices (“App”) provides an entertaining game to be used on handheld devices such as, but not limited to iPhone, iPad, iTouch, and devices using the Android© operating system and that this specific game has not been developed previously. The game requires the user to interact by sliding graphical representations of food items from a conveyor belt mechanism, across tables to oncoming students. The user must accomplish this task in before a timer expires. There are increasingly difficult levels and numbers of students.
 The game progresses from one level to the next as a representation of U.S. grade schools kindergarten through 12 th  grade. As the user advances levels, the students get bigger and increase in numbers, making it more challenging for the user to accomplish the task of keeping the students fed before they can reach the end of a lunch table. Sliding a food item towards a student causes the student to slide away from the end of the table and pause for a varying amount of time while the student eats the food. When they are done eating, the empty plate slides back towards the user's end of the table and the student begins moving again and the user must repeat the steps to keep the students from reaching the end of the table before the timer expires. 
 The App will be made using xCode programming for iOS devices.
