High-Level Project Summary
Our team has developed a decision-making game which the player is the leader of a 4-man crew, including the player itself. This game requires player to pay attention and requires player to make the right decision at the right time. Else, it might cost a lot of damage to the crew members which will leads to death. This game includes possible problems that astronauts might face during the trip from Earth to Mars. By quick and precise decision making, these problems can be solved.

Detailed Project Description
Project Overview: https://youtu.be/1vuNku5oc6k
The player is the leader of a Earth to Mars crew. The player can select his own occupation, such as Engineer, Food Scientist, and Doctor. The crew consists of 3 people, excluding the player itself. There is Tom (Doctor), Sam (Food Scientist), and Alex (Engineer). The main objective of this game is to survive the 7 months trip from Earth to Mars.
Controls:
- 'W' ,'A', 'S', 'D' - to move the player to speed up the time
- 'J' - check the team status
- 'K' - check the current problems facing
- 'L' - perform actions to overcome the problems
Reminders:
- Take care of the crops before it wilts, else, there is nothing you can do
- Shield up when there is radiation
This game requires player to understand the priority of the problems, and solve it accordingly. Some problems need to be taken care of before it happens. By playing this game, player needs to be careful of its decision from the beginning, as the occupation the player chose will affects the gameplay.
This game is created by using pure HTML, CSS and JavaScript only. By using only web development language, the game can be play anytime and anywhere without any installation. Other than that, it does not need very high computational power.
Space Agency Data
The 5 Hazards of Spaceflight: https://www.nasa.gov/hrp/hazards/
Our team has consider some of the hazards stated, such as radiation, isolation, and closed environment. The problems that happens in the game are created based on these hazards, and player are required to take actions to solve these problems.
Orion Spacecraft: https://www.nasa.gov/exploration/systems/orion/index.html
Our team also consider the size of Orion, as the spaceship is small and have limited space. Hence, the crews are restricted to a pack of 4.
Hackathon Journey
During this hackathon period, we are grateful that there are a lot of workshops for us to learn. We had learned a lot of things, such as video editing, pitching and others. We had enjoy every moments in this hackathon.
