Terminal Velocity

Cosmic Junk Collector

Cosmic Junk Collector is a web application, which uses open data from Orbital Objects to find the location of 'space junk'.
The aim of the game is to move around space and destroy the junk to score points by cleaning up space junk around the earth, with or against your friends. This is an immersive 3D experience entirely in the browser with no plugins required meaning you can play straight away!
We use a collection of space object positions to put active and inactive orbiting items in true places, allowing the player to see thousands of pieces of space junk at once. Built using Three.js, jQuery and Node, using Socket.io for fast, real-time communication between the client and server.
