ExploreET

Inspiration

We're all passionate about space, and we were inspired by the idea of disrupting our own culture by exploring new cultures. ExploreET is a fun interactive game that imagines what it would be like to meet another alien culture. There's something more beyond your laptop.

What it does

ExploreET is a game that lets you visit new planets, talk to aliens, and collect items from across the galaxy.

How I built it

We built this project using Javascript, CSS and HTML. We had to learn some new things to make this work, like animations, flexbox, functions and objects.

Challenges I ran into

The biggest challenges we ran into were...

1. Learning new css techniques like background image and flexbox
2. Finding images that worked in our designs
3. Using functions to make our code more efficient

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We're very proud of our entire project, especially the javascript which was more complicated than we expected.

What I learned

1. New flexbox tricks
2. Javascript objects
3. Callback on animations

What's next for ExploreET

1. Fix some design features like the ground
2. Add advanced animations for the humans, aliens, and stars
3. Expand the aliens and planets and the conversations they can have
4. Make it harder to find all the planets so you have to explore more
