Inspiration
I wanted to create a project that was simple and fun, and also allowed me to use HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I enjoyed playing the Offline Dinosaur Game that is integrated into Google Chrome, and I found that this game fulfils what I was looking for.
What it does
You control a 2D character and you must jump over incoming obstacles that come its way.
How we built it
This project was made using Visual Studio Code, which includes HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I used functions to allow the user to press any key to jump and to check if the character was alive using collision detection.
Challenges we ran into
The main challenge was restarting a whole new project from scratch due to the fact I couldn't use code made before doing the hackathon, so I had to accept the fact that I will not have enough time to completely finish my new project. The toughest challenge I faced during the coding was getting the points counter to work.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I'm very happy that I got to go to a Hackathon for the very first time, and that I was able to produce some software using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
What we learned
I learned how to make a game in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, as well as learning that time goes by very quickly when working on a project, so I also learned how to make the best of my time when things go wrong.
What's next for A Recreation of Offline Dino Game
There are definitely areas in my game that need improving, such as making the score system work and maybe have customisable characters for the user to choose from.
