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!

The Planet Simulator

We are building a 3D planet simulating game in which player can customize the design of planets. By analyzing NASA data set we tried to make our game as accurate as possible.Player can get educational experience from this game about star and planets.

Team Matra

Our team built a 3D space simulating game under the category of Planets near and far and the sub-category is build a planet. Using NASA data we made a star and planetary system where player can customize the design based on reasonable characteristics.

According to our current knowledge, planets are formed around a new star by condensing in a disc of molecular gas and dust, embedded within a larger molecular cloud. Condensation increases until they become giant planets, which are heated, then cleanse their orbits in the disc and possibly bend it. Remaining gas in the disc finally disappears, leaving planets, a disc of dust and debris.

We made a dynamic system for player Where they can select star for creating planet.The planet mass,radius and atmosphere dynamically change when player customize the planet design.By playing this game,They can get educational experience about star and planetary system.

Player can make livable planet in game by acquiring the knowledge of this solar system from this game. If they can't able to make a livable planet,they have to play the game more to understand the characteristics of a livable planet.


We got data from the link below for analyzing data-
