FoodKnight: A mobile educational game and analyses of obesity awareness in children.One of the main contributing factors to child obesity is the absence of education and knowledge children have towards certain foods when they are making food choices.  Our proposed solution to help overcome this problem is an educational gaming application called FoodKnight.  FoodKnight incorporates stealth learning to disguise the teaching of healthy food choices while playing a game; a step-counter is also included to encourage the user to be active.  The overall feedback FoodKnight received from 38 participants regarding the initial prototype was positive.  FoodKnight has been implemented in the Android mobile platform to increase accessibility.
