Space Exploration - Educational Video Game

Project Description:

I created this game for my final project in an introduction to programming for game design class. I wanted to create an educational video game intended to be used by children so I came up with the idea of being able to fly a spaceship and visit all the different planets. I used game maker and GML scripting language, similar to C++ to write code that allows the player to land on each of the planets and discover information to bring back to NASA.
