Resources
- Unity game engine to build SpaceScraping game.
- Free 3D Models from Unity assets store, NASA 3D Models Library and other open source sites.
- MySQL Database Manger to make queries.
- Build web server-side using PHP.
challenges Faced
- 3D Models: we solve it by using free open sources like Unity assets store and NASA 3D Models.
- User Score Ranking: we solve it by making a unique username to each user and record his score in our database.
- Some of us never interacted with Unity before.
- Integration the web server-side with Unity environment.
