Application Description
Star Seed: for Astronomers of all ages.
Welcome to Star Seed, a game about star formation! In 2009, Second Avenue developed a web based game for Discover magazine, bringing the supernovas discussed in Prof. Adam Frank’s article to life.
Newly formed stars rip apart giant clouds of particles from which they form. In the game, the user must control the impact of these explosions through the use of seed stars, which maximize star formation in the cloud before combined supernova blast waves turn the cloud to shreds. As new seed stars are dropped into the cloud, the user must try and corral the gas and raise the concentration of cloud material until gravity forces collapse and a new star forms.
If you were addicted to our original Star Formation game—you will love our latest version!
