THE CHALLENGE: SimSpace
Journey to Mars

Develop a game that simulates conditions in an off-Earth located permanent or temporary colony. The game could be a sandbox that offers the possibility to simulate various facilities that would support a reduced gravity environment far from earth’s atmosphere and magnetosphere. Users could be given power allowances, atmospheric conditions, and in situ resource options (using resources available on site for life support or other needs). The game could include a variety of scenarios including:

  • Arranging a GPS-like system on the Moon or Mars to support navigation for the human inhabitants. The simulation could allow the users to explore different solutions such as a constellation of satellites, a network of masts or other Earth based methods at the challenger’s discretion.
  • Players could build a habitat that could withstand the Lunar or Martian environment while also taking into consideration that its inhabitants need to have adequate power and supplies, be able to produce food, have locations sleep, live and work.
  • Build a Virtual Moon telescope. The simulation could allow the user to conduct a research mission using a telescope on site near their habitat. Explore what instruments make sense for the location of the telescope (and what the user wants to observe). Game players could explore settings such as exposure times or wavelengths to observe. Observations could vary based on the position of the telescope on the Moon or Mars, and the relative position in the sky of the pointed object. After each simulated capture, show an appropriately generated image reflecting the exposure and wavelength settings.
Explanation

Our solution aims to solve the challenge of Space Simulation developing a simulation type game where you can interact with all the infrastructure on Mars and survive in space, you can play online with your friends and create your oun colony and find which is the best astronaut.

With the Google Cardboard and Razer Hydra we take the game to the next level, the Virtual Reality design helps the player to increments the sensation of reality.

With the Photon server the player can create their oun colony with their friends and choose who is gonna by the engineer, constructor, explorer, ...

All meteorological and atmospheric conditions have been taken into account to provide more reality to the game

In the game you can create your oun environment placing the infraestructures in the place that the player wants, you can produce your food planting your oun vegetables and fruits, also you are able to create and metal and bioplastic based on resources provided by the environment of Mars

You can control a car to explore Mars and to obtain all the minerals and resources of Mars

We think that our solution is gonna by a excelent project to take it to the next level like a training software

We are TodoGames and we hope you enjoy the game as much as we are
