Classroom Escape Room: cryptography in VR

Mon, 28 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Can you crack the code and find your way out? MURGILDU took part in the Godot XR Game Jam — September 2026 with Classroom Escape Room, a small educational VR prototype built in Godot.

The idea is simple: explore a professor’s office, follow clues, and use interactive machines to recover an encrypted code. The machines handle the calculations; your challenge is to work out what comes next. It’s an introduction to RSA cryptography through exploration and puzzles.

Urko Mungia led the project and carried out most of the development, with mentoring from Inigo Lopez-Gazpio and an original cryptography idea from Andoni Mujika.

Inmersive game development for students 🎮

Inmersive game development for students

We would like to create the following environment. Students create the games that students play. This time we will create a VR Climbing demo.

This forms a life cycle of learning and play. It is the starting point for game generation, where students learn to build immersive environments and design game competitions for their peers. In this way, we foster motivation and active engagement in the classroom.

Immersive Climbing Game Project

This project features an immersive climbing game designed specifically for hosting climbing championships among students. Built in Godot with VR/XR support, it recreates realistic rock climbing walls, bouldering routes, and competitive formats where players grip holds, plan routes, and compete in real-time.

Key Features

Realistic climbing mechanics: Hand-tracking VR interactions with dynamic grip strength, foot placement, and fatigue simulation to mimic real climbing physics.
Modular climbing walls: Procedurally generated or hand-crafted routes (beginner V0 to advanced V8 grades) that students can design and share.
Championship mode: Tournament brackets with live leaderboards, spectator camera views, and timed ascents or flash/on-sight scoring.
Multiplayer & social: Up to 8 players competing simultaneously, with classroom leaderboards and replay analysis for technique review.

Educational Value

Students first learn to develop the climbing mechanics, route generation algorithms, and multiplayer networking. Then they playtest and compete using their creations, turning the classroom into a competitive arena. This closes the “create-play-share-compete” lifecycle, boosting engagement through ownership and friendly rivalry.

Perfect as a TFG project or extended practice module combining game design, physics simulation, VR UX, and competitive multiplayer systems.

Date: September 2025
Supervised by: Iñigo López Gazpio & Elsa Fernández Gómez de Segura

🧠 Description

This project is part of the Bachelor’s Thesis in Computer Engineering and aims to enhance accessibility and autonomy in learning through the use of 3D modeling and printing technologies.

In collaboration with the IBT-CRI Donostia support service, a study was conducted on the design, manufacturing, and evaluation of three-dimensional pieces adapted for students with visual impairments or blindness, to facilitate tactile understanding and learning in the classroom.

The work combines an educational, engineering, and artistic approach, integrating 3D printing optimization practices with the design of inclusive and sustainable educational resources, including anatomical models and figures inspired by Basque mythology.

🎯 Project Objectives

Promote educational inclusion through the use of 3D technologies.
Design and manufacture tactile teaching materials adapted for students with low vision.
Optimize 3D printing parameters to improve durability and reduce material consumption.
Develop an open-source 3D repository of reusable educational resources.
Encourage autonomy, accessibility, and sustainability in learning.

🧩 Technologies Used

Blender – 3D modeling of pieces and figures.
UltiMaker Cura – Print configuration and optimization.
FDM 3D Printers (PLA) – Manufacturing of physical models.
Python / Excel – Statistical analysis of impact and resistance tests.
GitHub / Google Drive – Version control and shared repository management.

🧱 Results and Contributions

Creation of over 30 educational 3D models adapted to various levels (from preschool to high school).
Evaluation of 14 infill patterns and different print densities to identify the most durable configurations.
Construction of an open-access repository (CC BY) compiling the designed pieces and experimental results.
Direct collaboration with the IBT-CRI Donostia service, which will receive the printed pieces for classroom use.

🔬 Examples of Designed Pieces

Low poly and high poly anatomical models (male, female, and mythological “lamia”).
Tactile educational figures for science and biology.
Educational prototypes adapted for inclusive STEAM education.

📊 Print Optimization

Experimental tests determined that the best configuration for balancing durability and sustainability was:

“Grid” or “Cross” infill at 10% density,
Layer thickness of 0.1 mm,
Standard PLA filament,
Two-dimensional infill pattern, offering excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
