About this game

Parallel Patties is an educational mobile application aimed at teaching parallel programming concepts to a general audience. This is a useful tool for undergraduate students to improve their communication skills by aiding them in explaining parallel and distributed concepts from the Parallel Distributed Curriculum to their non-technical peers (friends, family etc). Parallel Patties consists of multiple levels which each introduce a new parallel programming concept, using a burger shop as an analogy for the technical components of a computer. Each level also includes introductory background information, which can be used by students to aid them in explaining these concepts to the user.
