Cosmic Architect
Interactive simulation
By: Aedrian Salazar
Course: IAT 265 Multimedia Programming for Art and Design
Description: Cosmic Architect is an interactive simulation game in which the user assembles a solar system from inside a spaceship, adjusting celestial conditions to create a habitable planet. Through intuitive drag-and-drop mechanics, users place a sun, set its temperature, orbit a planet, and seed it with water鈥攁ll while experiencing immersive visual effects like parallax stars, motion blur, and constellation flickering. The project explores user agency and control through an aesthetically rich and subtly reactive interface.
