High-Level Project Summary
How can you be in space without being in? That is what our project is about. How can space topics be exciting for kids or teenagers? We are developing a 2D game about how space affects the human body, using real data provided by NASA. But the way we can face these issues is with points, earned in the game, we can be "Meta Humans".The main game character will modify himself by taking abilities from animals that are on earth, this is done with chemicals done in a lab. For this game, we are using PYTHON, the library pygame.

Detailed Project Description
A simple 2D game everybody can play it. This show the player other planets that are like planets that already exist. So, as an astronaut the player can move from one planet to another. In this journey, the player learns new things such as new elements, new forms of life, and so on. The player faces enemies.
This helps people that always want to feel how is to be an astronaut, and what it takes to be. We are using PYTHON, using VisualStudio Code. For the details we create images or we take free license ones.
Space Agency Data
We took from the Open Source NASA information many things. The way how our body is affected by "zero-gravity", how radiation affects us, and how the lack of knowledge about some elements could kill us. The human body weakness inspired us.
Hackathon Journey
It is great, but we can not develop something co-working without the internet. During the HACKATON there were a lot of problems with it. On the other hand, we learned a lot!
