The UniÂty game engine is a cross-platÂform develÂopÂment enviÂronÂment. It has great potenÂtial as a tool for colÂlectÂing large amounts of behavÂiourÂal data, both in the lab, the class room and remoteÂly — e.g. over the interÂnet and on user’s own devices. I present an earÂly verÂsion of an iPad app which uses a series of meaÂsures to track cogÂniÂtive, social and emoÂtionÂal develÂopÂment in priÂmaÂry school chilÂdren. DescribÂing the process of develÂopÂing this softÂware in-house, and the strengths of the UniÂty enviÂronÂment for creÂatÂing scalÂable and highÂly usable experÂiÂmenÂtal applications.
