INTRODUCTION

We love polar bears so much that we created this hack.

Background

" Between 1978 and 1996, arctic sea ice extent decreased by approximately 3% decade (Parkinson et al. 1999); Figure 2 illustrates that spring sea ice extent in the Nordic Sea has been reduced by 33% over the past 135 years (Vinje 2001). Sea ice is critical to be the survival of polar bears. "

While some people are still debating whether if global warming is real, most of us have forgotten the fact that, even if global warming is real or not, some animals are still facing extinction.

SOLUTION

The game is to inspire players with its challenging difficulty. It contains:

  • Polar bear, which the player played as,
  • Human, who will go after the bears,
  • Fish, for survival needs,
  • and the Rock, which blocks player's way

Resources our team used are:

  • Electricity
  • Unity3D game engine
  • Google.com
  • McDonalds
  • Burger King
  • and some brainstromed Ideas

CHALLENGES

There are differences between planning and practical implementations, most of the ideas will end up on no where due to insufficient skill and time.

CONCLUSION

We hope that everyone likes polar bears.
