What sort of simulation?


I want to create a simulation for my health site to more effectively share the mental model and process for how I have gotten myself well when doctors (and most of the rest of the world) don't think it can be done. I have a compromised immune system and I have made drastic dietary and lifestyle changes over the course of the last 8 1/2 years. I routinely get strong negative reactions when I try to share that information on email lists and forums for other people with my diagnosis. Many people react like I am a loon, a charlatan, a snake oil salesman, suffering from Munchausen...etc. Even those people who feel it makes sense have difficulty implementing the ideas I present. The written word is just not information-dense enough to convey the necessary paradigm shift and level of detail. So, earlier this year, I concluded that I needed to be able to walk people through a virtual experience of the process.

My sons have suggested I need to make a rogue-like. I would want to present the normal obstacles of an ordinary day and track information about germ load, PH, and probably a few other things (to be added later).
