Inspiration
People often say that they want to go somewhere whether it's to relax or just to get away from reality, but they don't always know exactly where they want to visit.
What it does
"Attracted-to-America" is a simple website with an embedded quiz that allows people to find the ideal vacation spot based picking different traits of this place. For instance, if you choose warm weather, it might lead to a question on whether you want to go to a historical place which will result in several options of cities or places in the United States that fit the traits you picked.
How we built it
We built it with primarily HTML for the website layout and JavaScript for the quiz portion that could be accessed by the website. We also used repl.it to work on both parts and put it together in a text editor before uploading it to github.
Challenges we ran into
Our primary challenge was in writing the code for the quiz because it required many if statements and each "yes" or "no" answer would lead to different paths through the if statements leading to different prompts and alerts. We solved this by making sure to place the brackets in the correct place and add breaks after certain alerts in order to solve the problem of the quiz not ending or the quiz questions not leading to the right questions.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud to have put this together in a day and solve the challenge with the JavaScript if statements and also come up with this idea of finding the ideal attractions in America based on selecting ideal traits or locations.
What I learned
We've learned that by carefully evaluating each bug, and learning from others, we could learn how to fix the problems and better our programs. This was a great team-building event as well where we had to properly divide up work and also be able to put everything together.
What's next for Attracted-to-America
It would be great if we could make the quiz for this website much more detailed and specific to people's tastes. This would make the quiz much more accurate as well for people taking it and by making the layout of this website look aesthetic or appealing, this kind of website could become very useful for all kinds of people looking to visit different parts of America.
