Renewability Run

The Project

Our project is a platformer where people avoid fossil fuels and collect cleaner forms of energy, including solar, wind, and hydroelectric. If you touch a fossil fuel, you lose health. Collecting cleaner energy will help restore your health. When you first collect a new type of clean energy, you will get a pop up box that will give you facts about that energy and its benefits. If you complete all the levels, you win. If you lose all health, you die.

Team Comments

We want to educate people about the negative impacts of fossil fuels and different types of renewable energy so that they can learn how they can help save the environment and make an impact.

Some problems we faced were bugs in our code. For example, when a player tried to go to another scene, they got stuck. So, we removed the border around the screen. We also had some technological issues with online meetings and Scratch. We overcame this with troubleshooting and patience.

If we had more time, we would add more complex levels to the project. We'd also add other types of renewable energy, including geothermal and biomass. We also might add more challenges to the game, including a timer or platforms that are harder to pass.
