(We are sorry, we screwed up with the name and didn´t change it to avoid git problems)

Our proposal for the NASA Space Apps Challenge 2017.

The Arctic Game is a Geolocalization based game, that pretends to promote the documentation of the arctic envoirment. The game will let anyone create an account and start adding marks on a map.

When creating a mark, the player will need to provide the following information:

• Title
• Photo
• Description
• Radius (e.g. 1km)

The player will be able to see their current GPS location and marks that other players created near him. These marks can be of different types:

• Danger
• Warning
• Observation

Each kind of mark will show in a different way than other. For example, Warning marks will show their radius circle in color yellow, and they will have a warning icon on the middle; on the other side, Observation marks will show in color green, and will have a different icon.

Players will not only be able to see other player created marks, but also to rate them using by touching a "thumbs up" button if they think the information on the mark is useful and/or right, or by touching a "thumbs down" button if they think it is wrong or misleading.

By each "thumbs up" a player gets on a mark he created, he will get points, that will let them level up and move up on a ranking system.

The maximum level a player can reach, is level 10. Here are the point requirement for each level:

• Level 1 - 0 points
• Level 2 - 1 point
• Level 3 - 3 points
• Level 4 - 5 points
• Level 5 - 8 points
• Level 6 - 12 points
• Level 7 - 17 points
• Level 8 - 23 points
• Level 9 - 30 points
• Level 10- 38 points
