Inspiration
We just wanted to indulge in the common childhood belief that balloons would float up forever into space and beyond.
What it does
It's a balloon, and it goes through space.
How I built it
With VPython!
Challenges I ran into
Movement of the balloon itself and the transition from earth to space!
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We made some cool 3D structures that actually moved!
What I learned
It's really easy to make mistakes in VPython, but usually the results are hilarious! (I'm looking at you, kid with scattered appendages sinking through the ground while initially holding the balloon.)
What's next for When You Let Go...
We'll actually finish it, enable the balloon to move, and make it into a real game by also adding in sound effects. In addition, if someone finished the game, the balloon would enter the gates of balloon heaven accompanied by an angelic chorus.
