Detailed Project Description
StarBlue is a didactic learning software where the following points are taken into account:
Takeoff.- is the departure and/or launch of the spaceship.
Departure from the Atmosphere.- is when the spacecraft leaves our earth's atmosphere.
Deep space.- is the vacuum of space where gravity is zero.
Contact with the Space Base.- is when the ship arrives at the Nasa international space station.

Adaptation
Each of the points being a level that the user must also overcome by feeding on information distributed throughout the trajectory of their experience with the game.
The StarBlue game is a totally educational and fun platform where the player is allowed to combine different biological characteristics of different living beings to help him meet the different challenges of each level.

For the modeling, the Adobe XD tool was used, which is a powerful and easy-to-use vector-based experience design platform that provides teams with the tools they need to collaboratively create the best experiences in the world.
For the creation of the slides, the Google Docs tool was used, which is an application very similar to Microsoft Office that allows creating, storing and sharing text documents and presentations online. These documents can be worked on simultaneously and in real time by several users.
