coconut island

Inspiration

tourists ruin local agriculture and tropical environments https://inhabitat.com/overtourism-surges-in-unsustainable-tourism-are-destroying-islands-in-the-pacific/

What it does

you play a game as a coconut tree and ward off environmental hazards (tourists) with your coconuts

How we built it

we used roblox (😳) as our engine and used rojo to work on the code in a separate IDE, allowing us to publish the code to github

• the game was built with single-script architecture
• has proper networking (multiplayer tree support)
• we also used fusion (https://elttob.uk/Fusion/0.2/) to power the front end of the game

Challenges we ran into

• game was created in a 7-hour window on Saturday (11/2) because we had other plans 👻
• if we had more time we would have added in UI, hitmarkers, and tree health

Accomplishments that we're proud of

we actually made something work

What we learned
