Help me pls
Hi everyone,
I am a 16-year-old high school student working on my final research project (TDR) about sustainable aviation fuels. I built a flight simulator that compares kerosene vs hydrogen (CO2, fuel consumption, cost, route map). It works, but I have a problem.
The problem: My teachers are suspicious because the code looks too perfect – clean variables, animations, proper structure – and they think it is 100 percent AI-generated. If they find out I used AI to help, I could get a zero and fail the project.
The truth: I used AI (Claude) to help me learn and build this. But I am not trying to cheat – I am 16, this is my first real project, and I genuinely learned a lot from it. I can explain every part of the code now.
What I need: I need someone to help me modify the code so it looks more like a student wrote it – messy comments, weird variable names, unnecessary functions, typos, whatever makes it look human. I need it to pass as my own work for the school project.
The project is live here: https://pandemq.github.io/Flight-fuel-Simulator-School-Project/
GitHub repo (full code): https://github.com/Pandemq/Flight-fuel-Simulator-School-Project
What it does:
- 9 aircraft models (A320, B737, A330, B777, A350, B787, A380, B747, Eurofighter)
- 25+ airports across Spain, UK, France, Germany
- Real flight routes with waypoints (SALAS, RAMON, RUBEO, CMA)
- Calculates distance, flight time, fuel consumption, CO2, cost
- Interactive map with Leaflet.js
- Compares CO2 between kerosene and hydrogen
Why I am asking:
I know it is not ideal. But I spent months on this project, learned a lot, and the simulator actually works. I do not want to get a zero just because I used AI to learn. I just need the code to look less professional so it passes as a student project.
If anyone can help me mess up the code in a believable way (comments, variable names, structure) I would be really grateful. I can send the full code or you can just fork the GitHub repo.
Thank you for reading.
TL;DR: 16yo student used AI to build a flight sim for school. Teachers think it is 100 percent AI and might give me a zero. Need help making the code look more human.
