Inspiration
On my birthday I got an echo plus as a gift from my parents. I started learning about Alexa and I was excited to figure out that I could add skills. While reading and researching Alexa I stumbled upon this hackathon 6 weeks after the starting. While I had only a few days to build a skill I successfully built a simple skill. I am very happy that I had this opportunity.
What it does
The skill I built is a math game that kids can play using Alexa to learn addition and to enjoy interacting with Alexa.
How I built it
I used the programming language Python. I used the Flask library and the flask-ask library.
Challenges I ran into
One of the challenges I ran into was a problem with a loop in my program to make Alexa ask 5 math questions and give the score at the end in addition to offering the player to play another round.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm proud of the fact that I was able to build a skill in such a short time.
What I learned
I learned how to build a simple Alexa skill using Python. (my favorite language)
What's next for Addition Game
I will definitely continue developing the Addition Game until I make sure it is ready to be enabled for Alexa production.
