The Unknown Planet

Inspiration

We were inspired by the theme of "Exploring the Unknown", and so we wanted to make the storyline based off adventure.

What it does

Follow the story of "The Unknown Planet", and face a multitude of difficult decisions. If you pick the wrong one, you will lose and must restart. But if you pick the right answer, you can make it to the village and win the game.

How we built it

As we were mostly beginners, we were all the most familiar with python. To create the GUI, we used the library tkinter.

Challenges we ran into

We were all unfamiliar with the tkinter library, so there was definitely a learning curve. After hours of trying to figure it out, we finally adjusted and were able to make a lot of progress.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We all worked together on this project, and knowing that we did it as a team feels very fulfilling. This was many of our first times making a GUI, and that was an accomplishment we were very proud of.

What we learned

We learned how to use Git Hub collaborative coding, how to work as a team, the tkinter library, and also visual studio code. We made sure to attend as many workshops as we could, and we learned a lot from those as well.

What's next for The Unknown Planet

There are so many ways to improve The Unknown Planet. Aesthetically, it's not the prettiest looking program, and we also limited ourselves in the creation process. We originally wanted to make the story go down different paths so that there were multiple ways to win the game, which would make the game longer and more interesting. Also, the images used were simply placeholder google images with no originality, and they aren't visually cohesive with one another. The story text is also slightly small, and the font could be adjusted. Overall, this little story has a lot of potential and it feels like all of our hard work was just the beginning.
