Coding Environment
Key Algorithms
Determines if user correctly identifiers which bin an item should go into, then gives the user 10 points (+10 points) if this requirement is achieved, depending on which response is selected
Determines if the user has selected the worst (not suited bin options for the allocated item selected, and taking 5 points away from the user (-5 points), depending on which response is selected
Shows a minimum of three items to be displayed and sorted within the game screen (in each game)
Determines if the user has selected incorrect responses, then removes 1 point (-1) from the user, if the requirement is achieved, depending on which response is selected

User Problems
Sam
Loves interacting with technological devices on a frequent basis
Not truly indulgent with cleaning and recycling his rubbish after himself in every environment
Requires information about the roles of each of the three council bins (red, yellow and green) as a person to contribute to his community
