desiring to play a role in Tapir safekeeping, SavTap is designed to address, educate, and raise global awareness regarding the threats leading to the endangerment of the Malayan Tapir. It also includes my unique solution to Tapir roadkill, its major threat.

It was difficult to ensure that SavTap's colours were differentiable for colour-blind users as well. Using a colour-blind emulator, I managed to add borders and contrasting colours. Implementing several animated sprites had lagged the game. The bug was fixed by using Scratch custom blocks.

If I had more time, I would link the users to Malayan Tapir Conservatory programs all over the world to encourage global participation in saving the Tapirs. Moreover, I would add VR and AR compatibility to my game in order to enhance its realism.
