Sunshine

High-Level Project Summary

In this project a game was developed, in which it will tell the story of the Parker Solar Probe, where the public will spend their time acquiring knowledge in a relaxed way.The probe will leave Earth with the objective of reaching the Sun, but this will only be possible if it manages to go through challenges that will be faced on its way, including Venus and Mercury (planets of the Solar System closest to the Sun).One of the main goals of the game is to change the perspective of the game's users in relation to the Sun, as many people, unfortunately, do not know this probe.

Detailed Project Description

The Parker Solar Probe will leave planet Earth with the objective of reaching the Sun, however, this will only be possible if it goes through some challenges along its way. She will have the help of some characters, in which they are: Venus and Mercury. During the game's stages, the probe, which will be the main character, will have to collect some stars while dodging some asteroids to go through all its stages.

During the game the probe will pass close to Venus, where the probe will rely on the planet to reduce its orbital energy, which in turn will allow it to travel closer to the Sun.

In its last phase, when you are back on planet Earth, you will be faced with an Eclipse, which in turn, normally occurs two lunar and solar eclipses each year. However, they are only visible in some parts of the world.

We hope the game will make the audience acquire knowledge in a slightly more fun way, where they will learn the history of Parker Solar Probe and the challenges faced and information that has been discovered and advances it brings to solar science in this remarkable journey.

We use language in a way that is clear enough for the audience to understand. For game development, we use the Game Maker application

Hackathon Journey

A caminho do sol, é um desafio onde podemos despertar e demonstrar nossa criatividade e conhecimento. Este foi o desafio escolhido porque nós do time SUNSHINE somos iniciantes nesta jornada, então, por ser nosso primeiro desafio enfrentado em um evento tão grande, foi uma escolha onde nos encaixamos melhor. Mesmo sendo um desafio para iniciantes, foi um pouco difícil mas a experiência foi muito boa e incrível, a gente pôde testar algo diferente, algo que saiu um pouco da nossa rotina diária.

Gostaríamos de direcionar nossos agradecimentos a nossos líderes locais, Jean Muksen e Kaique Spagnol, que nos ajudaram e foram muito atenciosos e simpáticos e estavam sempre a disposição para nos ajudar. E claro, a equipe da Nasa International Space Apps Challenge por ter organizado este evento.
