A Brief of the Prototype:

AntarikXplorer is an immersive First-Person View game that offers a scientifically accurate exploration of distant exoplanets and spacecraft navigation, using real-time NASA data, Unreal Engine 5, and Blender. The game supports a viewer mode and provides a realistic space experience without the need for a gyro-based mode. The platform offers exoplanetary environment simulations, quizzes, rewards, and multi-user support for collaborative and competitive learning. Built with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, JavaScript, React, Flask, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, Mongoose, Google Colab, Supabase, and Docker, AntarikXplorer aims to revolutionize space exploration and education through interactive and personalized learning experiences. The project plans to generate revenue through collaborations, educational licensing, and premium features.

Code Execution Instruction:

Note: Executing the code needs a Node Runtime

This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app

First, install the dependencies:

npm install

Then, Signup on Appwrite and add a .env file in the root, with these variables:

NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID=
NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_API_ENDPOINT=
NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_DATABASE_ID=
NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_COLLECTION_ID=

Finally, run the development server:

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
