Inspiration
I am very passionate about the environment and am trying to pursue a career where I can make an impact on the environment. One field I can do that in is energy and therefore I created this interactive way for children to learn about renewable energy so that younger generations will focus more on clean energy.
What it does
This project allows users to play games for solar, wind and hydro power. There are numerous cheat keys for these games that are documented in the readme. These games are designed for a younger audience with numerous levels and other features. They can also view animations for how all three of these renewable energy sources work. These animations can be clicked through and also you can step back through them.
How we built it
We created this project in Java where we used JavaFX to create the graphics. We created the project in IntelliJ.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into may bug creating the games, especially related to user input through the key board.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of the design of the code because it follows SOLID principles and is easy to read. We are also proud of the games we created because they are fun to play.
What we learned
We learned more about renewable energy from creating the animations. We also learned more about JavaFX front end design.
What's next for Interactive Renewable Energy
We designed the code so that new types of energy can be added on easily. Also, more than just animation and games can be added for each energy type such as trivia. Also, language and CSS change buttons could be added.
