Mission to Planet Earth: A Digital History

NASA’s activities in space have brought new knowledge of the Earth, inspiring new ways of thinking about humanity and the planet. However, many people aren’t aware that NASA studies the Earth in addition to other planets. Your challenge is to tell stories of NASA’s Earth science enterprise using interactive digital tools. This will test your technical skills and your ability to think like a historian or educator.

Planets warriors game

Summary

Game starts in Earth, which represents a stage with levels; each one starts with questions will be solved by observing through playing. At the end of every level player will know new information about that planet and its history, and There are gifts to encourage him. There are two advanced options; the first is to move to new planets with new levels and new adventures, where he will deal with aliens and compare between the earth and other planets. Another option for adults that are interested in space; there will be icon that will have advanced information about space from NASA site. the application is provided by notification properties to tell him new information.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Because people aren't aware that NASA studies the earth in addition to other planets (that's mentioned in the challenge), we made this game application to spread NASA stories and increase people's knowledge about space while they are playing and enjoying the information. They will get a new information while passing through the levels of the game and they will answer some questions.

How We Developed This Project

We have chosen 'Mission to Planet Earth: A Digital history' challenge; because we saw that most of the people aren't interested in space and don't have knowledge about it. We came up with idea which is to build up an application most likely to be a game to help people to gather information about space and we have it to be a game because we saw that games are very common in the society and you can find anyone playing games whether a child or an adult. For coding language; Well, it takes a team of talented game programmers to add detailed facets of games, along with the finished base product. Programming utilizes code to make the game a living, breathing thing. Programmers turn lines of code into fully functional and, sometimes, classic games, so we did all of our best and use scratch application to create our game .we face that it was difficult for us to deal with coding language ,especially that time was so short, but we solved it and make a progress to finish our application ,there are a little bit things to finish the application.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We have used space agency data by putting it in the game to make it available for people in an easy way to read and enjoy it after each level.
