*Aim: *To teach students what are constellations, in a way that helps them
remember the number of stars and features of particular constellations.

*Structure: I aim to do that by showing the constellations on the screen,
where the constellation would be rotating continuously in its defined
pattern and the child would have to press the right key for the number of
stars in the particular constellation. With the increasing level the
constellations would keep on becoming more and more complex and the speed
of rotation of the constellation will also increase.*

*How children learn from it: *

   - The Intromessage will tell children about what are constellations.
   - The header in each level will have the name of the constellation.
   - Counting the number of stars in the constellation will help children
   remember its features, eg: Orion had 7 stars
   - Rotation will help children spot constellations in the sky later on,
   no matter what its orientation be.

*Note: *The code in the demo needs alot of work, it is just a bare minimum
to make one level work. A lot of things have been hard coded which would
later be made more dynamic in later versions.
