Educational Space Simulation

The aim of this project was to autonomously develop, design and build a game/software of one's choosing (from scratch) with a technology beyond what was learned in class. I taught myself how to use Three.js in order to build an interactive Milky Way simulation for novice astronomers. I relied heavily on Three.js online documentation, YouTube videos, and external libraries to guide my process. The planet textures were downloaded from NASA's publicly available online image gallery.
