Inspiration
My inspiration was the recent reaction to hurricanes Milton and Helene, seeing how many people with the choice to evacuate, instead decided to hold their fort, many people don't understand how severe a hurricane can be.
What it does
Storm Ready is an engaging simulation game that educates players on hurricane science and disaster preparedness. Players can manipulate hurricanes, face the challenge of a hurricane, and learn about the social and environmental impacts of storms. With features like multiplayer collaboration, the game combines fun with crucial educational content, fostering critical thinking and strategic planning skills. Join us in empowering individuals and communities to navigate the challenges posed by hurricanes through knowledge and preparedness!
How we built it
We built Storm Ready using Roblox Studios, which is a game engine that runs in the lua language
Challenges we ran into
Every single thing we implemented came with its fair share of challenge, being new creators, we struggled to understand an unfamiliar language and deal with the many, many errors that came up, when we fixed one error another would pop up and provide the same deal of stress.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The building in the game was something far above an of our expectations, it came out spectacularly because of the hard work of our team members Shaliyah and Rebecca!
What we learned
We learned a lot more than we could ever hope to learn in a day when it comes to lua, the language seems weird at first but as we adapted and learned it became an enjoyable process, and we learned to push through any issues without ever losing hope
What's next for Untitled
We might possibly continue this game after the hackathon, I think the message it tries to teach is important and it'd also continue to be an amazing learning experience for us.
