🎯 Objective

The game is designed to simulate a simplified Pragyan rover mission on the lunar surface. Your objective is to explore the Moon, collect scientific data, and transmit it back to Earth — all while carefully managing power, communication windows, and time.

🚀 Mission

• Deploy the Pragyan rover near the Vikram lander.

• Navigate across different lunar terrains:

  • Normal ground,

  • Craters,

  • Slopes,

  • Boulders,

  • Rim regions,

  • Permanent Shadow Regions (PSR).

• Use onboard instruments (APXS & LIBS) to gather science data.

• Collect and transmit findings during limited communication windows.

• Return to the lander (optional) or hibernate before the lunar night.

• The mission ends when power is fully depleted.

About the Game

• Controls

  • Desktop: Use WASD / Arrow keys or click tiles.

  • Mobile: Swipe gestures or on-screen D-Pad.

• Rover Features

  • Always visible above terrain.

  • Realistic wheel rotation animation.

  • Carries the Indian flag 🇮🇳.

• HUD (Top bar) shows Day, Hour, and Comm Window status.

• Panels (Right side) include:

  • Power (depletes with actions),

  • Data Buffer (collect & transmit science),

  • Resource Potential,

  • Instruments (APXS, LIBS, Scan, Collect, Upload, Hibernation),

  • Mission Log (records actions),

  • Science Objectives & Telemetry (progress & environment data).

📌 Key Notes for Players

• Power is finite → Plan movements and scans carefully.

• Comm windows are time-bound → Upload science only during open windows.

• Science data appears as pulsing dots → Collect before it’s gone.

• The rover moves on the ground, tile by tile → like actual exploration.

• Once power runs out, the mission ends — just like real lunar ops.

🏁 Educational Value

This is a learning & fun prototype, not a hardcore simulator.

It helps players understand:

• Constraints of space exploration,

• How rovers manage resources & timing,

• The excitement and challenges of India’s Chandrayaan missions.
