Inspiration

When I found out that one of the project criteria was to solve a problem in your community, the first problem I thought of was stress. Stress is such a big problem that many middle schoolers like me struggle with. It can affect a person mentally and physically. That is how I came up with 7 X 7.

What it does

7 X 7 is a game that models bubble wrap popping. The goal is to pop all of the 49 bubbles on the 7 by 7 grid of bubbles. There is not competition involved because the goal of the project is to help with stress. Competition might worsen the stress.

How we built it

Using the PyGame Module in Python, I was able to recreate a digital version of bubble wrap popping. I used functions for each screen of the game including the main menu and the game screen.

Challenges we ran into

Creating the grid was the challenging part because there I had to include the functioning buttons within the loop

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating functioning buttons and using the audio was something I have never done before, so this was really cool to use.

What we learned

I learned how to use for functions from the PyGame library and really created my first game using PyGame.

What's next for 7 X 7

In the future, I plan on improving the 7 X 7 project and adding more features such as calming background music and more features that will make the user as comfortable as possible.
