Inspiration
We were inspired by the mysteries of space and what lies beyond, and the idea of people having control. More specifically, we took ideas from Adopt a Star and applied it to a virtual world.
What it does
The user creates an account, and then gets assigned a random exoplanet and can see information about the planet based on a database.
How we built it
We utilized Python Flask to create the backend for our website, and HTML and CSS styling for the design and layout.
Challenges we ran into
Trying to customize a planet page based on the user's preferences, parsing the csv files with python
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Designing a website, and being able to create a database of user logins and registrations, and successfully mimic a registration and login page
What we learned
We learned how to integrate a database into a backend technology (Python Flask)
What's next for Adopt A Planet
