Inspiration

After reading the news about space debris causing a forest fire upon reentering Earth's atmosphere, I was inspired to create a game centered around collecting space junk while hopping between planets.

What it does

In this game, the player assumes control of a character who must skillfully navigate and leap over planets to reach the end goal and collect pieces of trash. The game also offers a variety of achievements for players to unlock and strive for.

How we built it

Using the "Processing" app and writing code in Java, I developed the game. I implemented gravity simulation using vectors and increased the player's velocity frame by frame. Additionally, I incorporated random platform generation with different images to enhance gameplay.

Challenges we ran into

While implementing popup instructions and the "game over" feature for the users, I encountered some errors in my code that I initially overlooked. However, by carefully reviewing and debugging my code, I identified the mistake and successfully displayed the popups to the user.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I take great pride in my accomplishment of developing a fully functional game with a meticulously designed format and user interface (UI). It was a challenging endeavor, but I am thrilled that I successfully created an engaging and enjoyable gaming experience. I am proud to have brought my creative vision to life and provided users with an immersive and well-crafted gaming experience.

What we learned

Through this project, I gained valuable insights into the immense capabilities of Java and its vast potential for creating interactive applications. It was truly fascinating to witness how Java, combined with the Processing framework, empowered me to build a fully functional game from scratch.

What's next for Space Saver

Given more time, I would have seized the opportunity to enhance the game by incorporating additional features. One possibility would be to introduce a second player, allowing for multiplayer gameplay and fostering a competitive spirit between friends or online opponents. This would have added an extra layer of excitement and engagement to the overall experience.
