Inspiration
Inspiration for the making of Thirteen Heroes comes from my desire to show respect for our military using my profession, which is programming video games!
What it does
Users can walk around in a virtual memorial and pay respect to each soldier at their respective casket. The user will receive a poppy flower that they can place for every soldier they pay respect to. Poppy flowers are a symbol of remembrance for fallen U.S. soldiers and originated after World War 1.
How we built it
Thirteen Heroes was built using a game engine called Unreal Engine 4.
Challenges we ran into
The features weren't too challenging to code, but I'd say the most challenging was setting up the headstones and being able to see information about each soldier and view pictures of them.
