Inspiration

We wanted to challenge ourselves by building a game using Unity. Additionally, the content of Trash Collection Panda was inspired by the desire to combine a fun, animal-crossing-like game with the need to educate people on the differences in types of trash.

What it does

This is a top-down 2-D game that allows players to collect trash that generates on a beach. They can then either sell the trash in exchange for upgrades (being able to carry more trash) or deposit the trash to be sorted. The player can go to a sorting stage where they then sort their deposited trash into the correct bin (garbage, recycle, and composite). Additionally, players can go fishing for bonus points in a fishing minigame.

How we built it

We build the project in Unity, coding in C#. We collaborated using Github.

Challenges we ran into

This was either the first or second time that our team used Unity. Going in with limited knowledge and experience meant a lot of trial and error and a lot of learning.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to get the core frameworks and functionalities of a game running within the short hackathon period. Having the graphics of our game implemented is definitely a huge plus and makes our game look much better.
