The special education domain caters to a multitude of individuals with varying mental and physical challenges. Individuals affected by Trisomy 21 fall under the same umbrella as individuals requiring special education. This genetic disorder is commonly referred to as Down syndrome (DS), which is a result of an extra chromosome in an individual's DNA and can cause developmental and cognitive challenges all throughout their lives. The conventional methods of educating children in third world countries, with the inclusion of Sri Lanka, shows signs of disparity towards individuals with special needs. Children affected by Trisomy 21 fall victim to the lack of tailored educational approaches.

Respective medical data shows that higher Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) levels in the brain of an individual affected by Trisomy 21 reduces neuroplasticity, which also reduces the effectiveness of learning resources provided to them. Medical data also indicate that certain game genres increase the levels of dopamine in the brains of these individuals which result in lower GABA levels for a brief period of time. Furthermore, it has been identified that individuals affected by Trisomy 21 are strong visual learners, hence the proposed solution by the author comes in the form of a serious game, which not only caters to the visual learning preferences of these individuals but also aims to reduce the GABA levels in the brain to effectively provide learning resources.

The serious game 'Bright Horizons,' uses a procedurally generated approach to level design, resulting in a unique experience for the individual each playthrough, to ensure the highest possibility of engagement. Furthermore, a regression model is used to calculate the ideal activity engagement time based on acquired medical data containing gene expression change values. Learning resources such as numbers, letters and colors are distributed throughout the gameplay loop so that individuals in consideration can actively learn while being engaged in gameplay.

The primary objective of this project is to lay the educational foundation for children affected by Trisomy 21. This unique population faces significant challenges all throughout their educational journeys and day-to-day life. In third world countries, most of these children fail to even receive their basic education let alone consider career opportunities. This genetic disorder causes distress to both children and their respective caretakers, and addressing this issue is paramount.

It has been proven that children affected by this condition respond well to game-based learning since they are strong visual learners, as opposed to conventional learning methods. Current educational practices, especially in Sri Lanka, fail to deliver these tailored educational approaches. Serious games are met quite often in the military, government, and healthcare with extensive use in education and learning, since they are proven to be engaging and appealing to people of all social classes. Even though technologies like virtual reality (VR) are on the rise as means of education, there are limited real-life use case scenarios of serious games in the special education domain.

Users are encouraged to make mistakes while they play serious games, as the key objectives are learning, knowledge retention, understanding of new concepts, problem-solving and real-time data analysis. The significance of this research lies in its potential to improve the quality of education and the overall quality of life for individuals with Trisomy 21.

The proposed solution in this project is comprised of two major components: the game itself and the machine learning model. The serious game, built using the Unity3D engine, uses C# for creating logical scripts. These scripts govern the various functionalities of the game - from the main menu and gameplay loop through to the end screen.

Key scripts and their functions:

• Start_Menu Script — Executed on launch; loads the main menu of the game.
• Camera_Controller Script — Ensures the camera object follows the player character as it moves.
• Player_Movement Script — Controls player movement states: idle, running, jumping, and falling. Each state is assigned an animation and a sound. The player character can only occupy one state at a time, and the sprite flips based on movement direction. Jumping is only permitted when the player is in a grounded state.
• Player_Life Script — Oversees the player life and death cycle. Upon colliding with an enemy or trap, the player loses a life and respawns at the start of the level.
• Item_Collector Script — Allows the player to collect numbers, letters, or colors scattered throughout the game world. Each collectible is assigned a collider object that detects the player's rigid body. Upon collision, the game object is destroyed and the score is incremented.
• Sticky_Platform Script — Ensures that once the player character lands on a moving platform, they remain attached as it moves. This is achieved by setting the player object as a child of the platform upon collision.
• Waypoint_Follower Script — Manages platform movement between two waypoint objects placed in the game world, creating back-and-forth motion.
• Pause_Menu Script — Switches the game's time scale between 1 (running) and 0 (paused).
• End_Menu Script — Displayed upon game completion; allows the player to return to the main menu or quit.
• Options_Menu Script — Manages user preferences including resolution, graphical presets, volume, difficulty, and learning resource preferences. Changes take immediate effect and are saved locally for future sessions.
• Level_Manager Script — Determines the number of levels to generate based on the selected difficulty level, and handles level display and completion messaging.
• Procedural_Generation Script — The most complex script in the project, responsible for generating the game world based on difficulty level. This includes creating hills and platforms with varying heights and widths, placing them randomly across the terrain, setting start and end borders, positioning the finish line in a safe zone clear of terrain elements, and distributing collectible items throughout the level.

The regression model was constructed to determine ideal activity engagement times. Medical data was sourced from four Excel sheets containing gene expression changes, which first required a processing stage to remove inconsistent columns and combine the files into a single dataset of over ten thousand entries. This dataset was loaded using the pandas library and underwent a second processing stage - replacing empty Gene ID cells with 'unknown' and converting Direction values to binary representations of 'up' and 'down'. A new column, 'Activity Engagement Time', was created by assigning randomised values between 60 and 120 seconds. The data was then split into features and targets, divided into training and testing sets, and used to train a linear regression model. The trained model predicts ideal activity engagement times and saves the output for use by the game engine.
