The Challenge | Orbital Scrap Metal — The Video Game

Nuts, bolts, spent rocket stages, and broken pieces of satellites orbiting Earth are just a few of the many thousands of items known as orbital debris, or space junk. Your challenge is to create an orbital debris collection videogame web-app! You may build upon NASA’s Spacebirds and real data.

Intorno*

Intorno is a web-app pixel art arcade game available for everyone with the purpose to educate and inform about orbital debris.

We are an International Team inspired by space challenges, and for this occasion we developed a web-app pixel art game called <<Intorno*>>. Intorno* is an italian word meaning “nearby” or “around”."Intorno*” (in mathematics talks about a point) is the name for an open set containing the point.

Our Game adresses the subject of space debris collection in Earth Orbit. It is estimated that around 15,000 to 23,000 pieces of orbital debris with an approximated speed of 17,000 miles per hour, therefore it is a common threat to space stations and satellites. With Intorno*we are trying to depict this problem by a simple arcade game which tries to inform and to lead a general public to a more in-depth knowledge and awareness of the problem.
