The Challenge | Build a Planet

Your challenge is to create a game that will allow players to customize the characteristics of a star and design planets that could reasonably exist in that star system. Ensure that this game provides an educational experience for players!

Our project consists in the creation of an educational game focused on the mobile applicationthat relates chemical and physical aspects aimed at children and youth. Our goal is to providelearning regarding the composition and emergence of stars and planets, as well as identify the characteristics of a planet and whether it is possible to inhabit.The focus is on giving the player full control in forming his own system, where each wrong movewill result in learning, until the player hits the correct formation of star composition, distance from the planets, and conditions necessary for the emergence of life.

We will use the APIs and articles provided by NASA as a database for specific, real-timeinformation to make the game as interactive and interesting as possible. We want to provide education, interaction, knowledge, and fun in a simple and objective way.

Our game will be accessible anywhere in the world, preferably using the internet to update the data but it is possible to play it offline too, initially in English and in future in other languages. As future resources we want to provide the player with greater interaction with inhabited planets, creating civilizations and skills to preserve their planets' naturalresources and consequences by not preserving as much as possible.
