High-Level Project Summary
We developed a game to teach people about the importance of cybersecurity. People are often told various rules about cybersecurity and are asked to follow them; however, we noticed that so many people do not follow the known regulations due to not receiving an explanation as to why they should in the first place. This game teaches people why we have to follow them by having the player 'become' the attacker of the device on the game, and, therefore, will solve the doubt of cybersecurity itself.

Detailed Project Description
Our game is hoping to educate people on cybersecurity. It operates using WASD for movement, a TAB key to open the inventory, and a SPACE bar to open the console. There are also more directions in the final link above. The benefits, in general, are that we now have a way to bring awareness to society regarding the importance of cybersecurity. We used Unity2D to create the game, and the programming language was C#. We also used Pixilart and PaintTool SAI to develop the graphics in the creation.
Space Agency Data
This game did not require the need for any space agency data.
Hackathon Journey
Our experience was an interesting one, with much bonding along the way. We learned many other skills needed to create this game, including operating Unity, creating pixel art, and managing on a strict timeline itself. After thinking of what fun we would have with creating a game, our team chose this challenge and then developed the idea into something educational. The approach we used was going down from simple to complex. We started the game base, then eventually moved onto graphics and sprites to add in the end. Setbacks and challenges were an issue; however, we made it through by discussing the problem and providing resolutions on what to do.
