Angry Parker

High-Level Project Summary

Our project tells the story of the Parker Solar Probe and its long and arduous journey to the sun's upper atmosphere.Through an interactive Video Game, players will aquire the basic knowledge about the inner working of the probe and how it adapts to its harsh environment.As such, we hope to both educate and inspire newer generations by teaching them that flying too close to the sun can't always be bad.

Detailed Project Description

The game is divided into many levels where each one reflects a part of Parker's journey and represents a problem that the probe faced.

In each challenge, the first player controls the "Probe" using different skills in order to protect himself from several hazards. Here, the player is tasked with solving these problems by navigating hazards, activating defenses and collecting information.

While employing these skills, an explanation of how it can be used and its benefits will be shown.

For example, it has a shield that reflects the sun heat, a smart cooling system that measures and then manages its own temperature as much as possible and maneuvers around hazards and obstacles.

The second player controls the "Sun" and his role consists of preventing the probe approching him and collecting data.

The sun can fling steady stream of particles, uses Magnetic Storms to disrupt the probe's movement, slows down its enemy using Cosmic Dust and damages its health with short distance heat attacks.

Space Agency Data

We're grateful for the resources and the information that NASA has provided us and it's thanks to which we've been able to learn about the hazardous environment of the sun and the challenges the Parker probe has had to surpass to succeed in its mission.

Hackathon Journey

It was a fruitful experience, we've learned so much about the sun and the challenge that NASA faced in order to collect data from it.

We're so inspired by what NASA has achieved during the past years and we are aiming to take a part in this journey. Using different tools that we have learned in our management course such as putting SMART goals and DMAIC method contributed in tackling different issues we had faced.

We are grateful for this opportunity and we thank the organisation team.
