 Prashnavali
Like Hanuman Chalisa in the general category, Prashnavali too leverages on the
religious sentiments and emotions amongst Indians. The application based on Ram
Charit Manas of Sant Tulsidas allows user to think of a question and get answer
to the same through his belief in the divine Lord Rama. To get answer to his
question, the user needs to concentrate on the picture of Lord Rama and move the
scroll at a location of choice on the picture where he feels the answer could be
located. The answer to the question is in the form of a Doha with English
translation of the same. The picture is actually divided into a grid of 15 X15,
with nine 'Dohas' (verses in Hindi) distributed across the grid in a
specific pattern and one doha associated with each block. Each Doha carries some
meaning, and based on the location of the picture the user chooses, the
corresponding doha gives a metaphoric answer to his dilemma.
Using Prashnavali is quite like reading a horoscope in certain ways, i.e.
even though it answers your questions, and directs you out of dilemma, it
promises or guarantees nothing. Besides this, the answer that you get is
metaphoric, so it could lead you to improve or better the situation in mind. At
the same time, there are certain fundamental differences that exist between a
system such as horoscopes or tarot and Prashnavali. Theses include the fact that
horoscopes are very generic, whereas, Prashnavali is not only specific to the
person attempting it, it is also specific to the question he is asking. Another
advantage is that the Prashnavali that we are developing, or rather replicating
is based on an age-old, traditionally accepted faith system; so should get
acceptance very easily.
 Snake Catcher
An age old game that has been immensely popular on the PC format, this has been
adopted on the mobile too, but this version scores because of its innovation. In
this fun game, user has to place the catchers strategically to drive the snake
into the Pit. The game settings allow selection/control of the number of
catchers, their speed as well as speed of the snake. For enhanced gaming
experience, user has the option of Timer feature of 45 sec or 1 min or he/she
can set unlimited time. High score depends on time taken to drive the snake into
the pit, total catchers used, and numbers of catchers alive.
 Karaoke
Ideal for bathroom singers, this application plays musical tracks of songs with
simultaneous display of lyrics. Music is played in sync with the lyrics, which
are correspondingly highlighted in color to aid sing-along. The application has
flexibility to play song again from the start if one misses lyrics in between.
There is facility to increase/decrease volume, pause music, and play lyrics
at a faster pace.
 PixO
PixO allows user create fun cards by using text and pictures. Images and text in
these fun cards can be moved/configured as per user's preference and users can

PongBall
Developed by Abhishek Srivastava of Rohilkhand University, PONG Ball is a game
inspired by Ping Pong. The player has field where he can test his reactive
skills against four opponents located on each side. The player has to make sure
that he does not go beyond the playing field. The aim of PONG Ball is to keep
the ball on the screen as long as possible. Bars are situated on all sides of
the screen, one on the left, right, top, and bottom of the screen, which will
help the player to keep the ball inside the playing field. The player will win 1
point on every reflection the ball makes with the bars located on each side. The
speed of the ball can increase or decrease depending upon the angle at which it
strikes the bars. The speed of the ball can be increased or decreased by the
help of ball speed option provided in the menu.
