AIM: to create a planet within a solar system that is capable of sustaining human life

Select sun in hot-bar

Star type

Note that rock planets form in warmer regions closer to star and gas planets in the cooler regions further from star

Calculations

Planet size based on our solar system

Star radius * 0.1005176058 = max radius km

Star radius * 0.003508217 = min radius km

Planet distance from star

Star radius * 2061.79638 = max distance km

Star radius * 83.2626418 = min distance km

Distance where rock planets end and gas planets begin, based off Jupiter’s position

Star radius * 1119.322512 = distance km

Goldilocks zone

Star radius * 1119.523547 = max distance km

Star radius * 155.5866975 = min distance km

Challenges faced

During coding some challenges faced included learning new concepts to implement in the game and calculating many sums at the same time.

We also tried to include the most amount of NASA data and images possible to make our game an accurate representation of the solar system with a scaled model and constant calculations running. Things like calculating the mass of a gas/rock planet due to gravity, calculating the gravity, mass, acceleration due to gravity.

We split our team into different sections to play to our strengths with different areas such as coding, ui design, research, presentation and much more.
