Inspiration

Our Inspiration for Trash Dash was our frustration when seeing people attempt to throw trash away and throwing it in the wrong bin. We felt that we had to educate the public on what trash goes into which bin

Game description

The game is centered around collecting various types of trash and depositing it into the correct bins. Each level is timed and the user must deposit all pieces of trash before the time is up. The challenge comes in the fact that to deposit the trash the user must press a button for the corresponding types of trash, this can get confusing. On top of this the trash is launched so it makes it hard to make it into the bins

Instructions

The controls are very simple. You move with arrow keys and jump with space. Z, X, and C are used to shoot recycables, compostables, and waste respectively

How we built it

We built it through Unity, Visual Studio, and Weebly.

Challenges we ran into

Getting the collisions to work correctly, it was very annoying. For the longest time Unity was not registering when the player picked up trash or when trash was thrown into the bin. On top of this getting the character animations to work was also a challenge. Website designs were also a big obstacle.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

No one knew Unity until this hackathon, so not only were we able to learn but we actually made something. We're also glad everybody was able to contribute something to the project.

What we learned

How to make a video game through Unity.
