Problem Introduction

Businesses are continuously looking for new and creative ways to keep their customers engaged and to keep the customers coming back. Recently, retail businesses and restaurants have tried to gain customer loyalty through rewards programs with points systems. Our group sought to come up with a more creative solution to garner customer loyalty.

Inspiration

We thought back to our childhoods and the brands we were most loyal to. What stuck out was the cereal companies who had an entire generation of kids begging their parents to buy them cereal just so they could have the toy inside.

What it does

spaceGO is a game where the user can unlock different skins for their character and spaceship while they zoom across the galaxy in search of byte coins. There would be some limited edition skins that can only be unlocked by making a purchase through NCR partnered retailers.

How we built it

We built spaceGO using swift and SpriteKit on xcode to develop the game on ios.

Challenges we ran into

This was our first time at a hackathon and our first time creating any sort of game. We had trouble fixing some of the kinks in our short time at the hackathon.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to make a functioning game with sprites that move within the map. And we're proud to complete our first hackathon 😎.

What we learned

We learned a lot about game development specifically in creating a game in Swift. And we learned how to code in a team.
