High-Level Project Summary

We aim to develop a game that will engage the users in exploring various facts about the heliosphere and cosmos. The game focuses to develop a competitive spirit among the players, at the same time, providing insights about space. The game provides two types of gameplays, the first one is a quiz-based game wherein the user earns streak points by winning against other users (s) and the second gameplay would have a race between celestial objects. Depending upon how fast the user answers the question, the game object picks up the speed. There will be a concept of rank provided on the basis of streak points. The match-up for each game will be based upon the user's rank.

Detailed Project Description

1)The sun, with all its glory, power, brilliance, and mystery remains as an everyday scenic object for the people. Its usefulness, potent & malignancy is not much pondered upon.

2)There are more than 2.69 billion gamers in the world and according to the ESA, 67 percent of all American adults, those 18 years and up, play games, while 76 percent of kids, those under 18 years old, are gamers.

3)We aim to develop a game that will engage the users in exploring various facts about the heliosphere and cosmos.

Hackathon Journey

Our journey to create the app was a joy ride with many ups and downs, but as it is said "All's well that ends well". We learned lot many things about the cosmos. The challenge helped us to present our creativity to mentors. Since our project was based on the idea of spreading vital information about the sun. Our team members, after thorough research using statistics, came up with the idea of developing a game for the general audience. Our team member, Ghurujayaraj, dealt with all the technical problems regarding the project. While, the ideas for future developments were given by team member, Prajin. I, as the team captain, would like to thank my team members for their continuous support and guidance during the project development. I would like to thank the NASA space association for conducting this wonderful hackathon.
