High-Level Project Summary
The following work has objective expose a possible solution to the challenge posed by NASA,shine, shine little star, whose purpose is to develop a tool to help people learn about stellar variability. The project is justified by identifying that people have little or no knowledge about the reasons for the change in brightness of a star. For this, a video game called Saros Guahaüi has been made. Arm your Star, where the user, through methods deductive students will understand the behavior of the variables that allow us to identify the change in brightness of a star, and develop concepts such as light curve or stellar evolution.

Detailed Project Description
DESCRIPTION
The game works as follows, when you start the App you will be able to see the
constellation of the Deer, this constellation is not yet visible, because you will have to
build variable stars to identify it, the first thing you must do is design a star, and you
will find a menu with three selection options. Create, map and exit.
TO CREATE
In the create option you can have a star, and enter parameters to modify
conditions of mass, age and size. Under these parameters you can modify your
star, the game by default shows you a light curve graph (This graph
corresponds to a variable star). And a star without major changes or variations
in its behavior. By making adjustments to the variables you will find the light
curve to which the example corresponds.
MAP
Once your first star is unlocked, you can see the first star of your deer
constellation reflected, now you will enter the Map option, in this option you will
find the stars that you are unlocking, the deer horns correspond to the progress of
the game and the constellations that you are creating.
LEAVE
Finally we find the option to Exit will end the game
GAME PROGRESS
At the start of the game, the deer constellation will not have horns, as these will
appear as the game progresses.
Starting the Game
Advanced level
Expert level
This game was programed with Python Language
Space Agency Data
ESA, NASA TESS
Hackathon Journey
So interesting, really is a diferent experience. VERY ENTERTAINING WE LEARNED A LOT
