Inspiration

Drawing inspiration from the captivating world of Kepler's Space Program and the enlightening Rocket Launch Challenge Web Game on the Science Learn website, which nurtured my youthful curiosity, I embarked on this journey to create an equally enthralling and educational experience for today's learners.

What it does

Cosmo-Projectiles offers students a dynamic platform where they can manipulate various forces and variables associated with rockets in a virtual environment. This hands-on approach allows them to delve deep into the fundamental principles of gravity, thrust, and projectile motion that dictate the behavior of these celestial vehicles, fostering a rich understanding and appreciation for these scientific concepts.

How we built it

Leveraging the capabilities of the Unity Game Engine and the Mixed Reality Toolkit 3, we have crafted a vibrant and interactive space where learning meets fun.

Challenges I ran into?

Navigating the intricacies of implementing physics based on the somewhat fluctuating standards of Unity's in-built Rigid-body components presented a significant hurdle. Despite this, our determination led us to innovate and overcome these challenges, producing a stable and responsive gaming environment.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The sheer act of transforming a nascent idea into a fully-fledged game stands as a testament to our dedication and passion. Seeing this project through to completion is a substantial achievement that fills us with immense pride.

What I learned?

Embarking on this journey has bestowed upon us a rich learning experience, primarily centered around the Mixed Reality Toolkit 3. Despite its relatively sparse community resources, we managed to navigate its complexities thanks to the robust official documentation available. This venture has also reaffirmed the notion that physics indeed is for nerds!
