Move the slider to left and right.

This example showcases how Codespace leverages gamification to improve both learning and usability. Adjust the slider to compare traditional scuba dive planning using a pressure group table with the DiveMax app, which automates the process at your fingertips.

The difference is clear: instead of planning dives with pen, paper, and tables, the DiveMax app calculates everything instantly and accurately. This shift makes learning and dive planning not only simpler but also safer—truly highlighting the impact of gamification.
