Constrction Game Idea Assignment

Tap Star System

This is a game in which the player will be constructing a star/solar system in space in any part of any galaxy, in any part of the Known Universe.  This game is for the Apple iPhone & iPad.  The player will be given a set celestial objects like a sun/star, on terrestrial planet, one gas giant, and one comet.  All of which are fully customizable.  As the player builds his/her star system to their specifications, they will earn or lose money/credits based on the quality of their systems, the linked-balanced functionality, & if any of the plants can provoke and sustain life.  Of course there is a catch of sorts to this game other than losing credits, the player will only have an economy to constrain them so they can only build their star system in a varying high/low budget.  As a reward for their hard work, the player is awarded rankings (i.e. A good star system and some additions to it can earn you a single rank to a prestigious 5 ranks higher while a poor job can take away 2 ranks from you, knocking you down 2 ranks from where you were.  'Fantastic Job' = +5,  5+8=13 while 'No Effort' = -2,  23 - 2 = 21).  The higher a players ranking, the more items and parts there will be available for him/her to work with and construct different, and even more varied star systems.
