Inspiration

We were inspired by similar games that use gravity as a major game mechanic.

What it does

It is a game where you use the mouse to hit a golf ball from planet to planet in endless randomly generated levels where the goal is to reach the Sun in the center of the level. The game keeps track of how many hits you used to complete each level. The levels get larger over time.

How we built it

We used Java and the Swing libraries to create the game.

Challenges we ran into

While we were familiar with Java, we were not as familiar with the libraries we used. Additionally, getting the gravity to work well was a challenge.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of creating a complete playable experience for this Hackathon.

What we learned

We learned how to use GUI libraries for Java and how to create a physics simulation for a video game.

What's next for Gravity Golf

We could add more features to the levels, such as different types of planets.
