High-Level Project Summary
We have made a game that can explain people what is James Webb telescope's capabilities. Here you can explore the endless space. You can destroy some asteroid if you get bored, by the way you can take in-game screenshots and share it with your friends. Also we made a mini-game and a gallery. In our minigame you are provided with several photos and you have to choose which telescope made them. For each correct answer game rewards you with points and you can share your score with friends. You can also look at the gallery of James Webb telescope photos and according to this gallery you can easily understand differences between James Webb telescope and others telescopes in mini-game.

Detailed Project Description
We provided an WINDOWS ONLY application. Plese download the setup file and follow its instructions
We also provide a MacOS version, however we don't have an opportinity to test it. Therefore we are not sure if it is stable and even if it works.
In our main game you can explore a solar system as you change zoom level on the telescope. This games is easy to comprehend, at the same moment it accurately describes telescope capabilities. We want people to understand how incredible this telescope is. We used Unity game engine and C# to program game logic.
Space Agency Data
Official NASA planets models. NASA information about Webb telescope.
Hackathon Journey
We wanted people to know more about telescope because it's a huge achivement, but not many people know about it. During this hackaton, We learned how to effectively collaborate and work in team. We want to say thank you to the NASA for such a wonderful hackaton.
