We are 6 student, studying in UCU. We are really worried about world problems, like space garbage. Unfortunately most people even don't know about this problem. That's why we decided to make game, so that people can be really introduced in this problem.
First of all, when we skimmed through the scrap metal data provided by NASA, we realized how much scrap there actually is out there! That was unexpected.
The second insight that we came upon was how complicated their actual movement is and how many calculations need to be taken into account. When we tried to implement their orbital movements, the calculations yielded were imprecise because of floating point arithmetic. That's why we decided to use less physics in game, but make it more attractive.
