Inspiration

This Project Was inspired by space, in particular the beautiful scene in Wall-E in which Wall-E (The titular character) is messing around with a fire extinguisher.

What it does

This game puts the user against a series of darting comets and planets that will pull them in to crash with their strong gravitational pulls. The user has to escape these pulls whist dodging asteroids to try and score their new best.

How we built it

This was built entirely in PYgame.

Challenges we ran into

A lot of the vector calculations for gravity and for the asteroid movement took a while to get running well.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This is a significant upgrade to our submission last year despite using a game engine that was new to most of us,

What we learned

A lot of the foundations of building games in python.

What's next for SpaceJam

Homing comets at regular set time intervals to challenge the player further as well as a menu screen.
