The reason I wanted to make Spaceploration was to help people learn about the Solar System in a fun and interactive way. I think that learning about space is very interesting, and that Spaceploration can be the gateway for many young kids to start their adventures in space.

Planets orbiting the Sun→YouTube tutorial helped (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i_VbcPOnLs&t=411s) Asteroid Belt always “touching” rocket→Rotate Asteroid Belt. Put hitbox at edge of image Planets rapidly activating info→ Conditional check on variable that stores the previous planets' name

I would have made a game where you are lost in the Solar System & you can choose which planet in the inner Solar System to go to first. To gain energy & materials you would answer space-related questions & find the answers around the planet. Once the rocket ship is built you can go to other planets.
