Scholarships
Daniel Ian has been awarded a WWDC scholarship in 2025. Here is the submission that got him there.
In 2025, applicants were tasked with creating an interactive app playground on the topic of their choice to showcase their passion for coding. Here’s how Daniel Ian describes his winning submission.
LightsOut challenges players' spatial cognition, memorization, and problem solving skills by making them navigate a maze that disappears into darkness, enhancing cognitive agility and recall. I chose Prim’s Algorithm for maze generation because it creates unique, solvable mazes with an organic structure. It ensures every puzzle is navigable while allowing for increasing difficulty, generating larger, more complex mazes that challenge players’ spatial memory and problem-solving skills.
