Competition Name : Intra-state software application development challenge '05

Venue : Birla Industrial & Technical Museum - Kolkata, West Bengal, India.

Team members : 2 [Credits: Kaustav Dey Biswas and Mayukh Das]

Technologies: C++

Description : We designed and developed a Simulation of the Solar system for using in an educational and instructional environement for children. It is an active application which shows relative movements of the planets and their corresponding satellites. The orbital paths and the planetary speeds had been scaled accordingly. Also, on being clicked, the planets and the Sun will display an annotation containing some essential facts about that them. It was developed using C++ and the graphics headers available with C++. The back-end information was stored using flat files due to lack of database connectivity.
