What it does

It's a 2D shoot-em-up genre type game in which you

How we built it

We built it in NetLogo, a tool we used quite a bit in our sophomore year for computer science. But one of the aspects of NetLogo that struck us was its limitations with possible projects. In carrying out our idea, we wanted to test its limits with a project like a game with vast possibilities.

Challenges we ran into

Experience gaps between members.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Managing to manage our time efficiently and finish this extremely overambitious project in such a small timeframe.

What we learned

How to work as a team efficiently and effectively. Learning Java/more Java.

What's next for The Final Frontier

Porting this idea to a platform with less limitations and more facilities to improve. On the other hand, we also brainstormed ideas on how to improve the optimization of the game within NetLogo, a philosophy in which, "it's the driver, not the car that's the problem."

We worked very hard on this over the past few hours and we really hope that you enjoy it.
