Axiom Zen - Challenge 1 and 2

Solved Game
Sample

Inspiration

On frontend side, we used Google's Material Design and Angular.js because is a lot of fun!! On backend, we chose Java and Jersey because we are experienced on these.

What it does

It provides a way to play the Mastermind game using a web browser through Axion Zen's API or our own API implementation.

How we built it

We built the entire project during the VanHackathon, from May 20th - 22nd.

Challenges we ran into

The most difficult part of FE was using Google Material Design in a mobile device. Backend faced issues trying to integrate with Slack since there is no feedback or debug options.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Solving the game Running it at Heroku platform Completely creating Backend and Frontend applications User Interface looking and feel. Everything well tested

What we learned

You can create and learn a lot in a single day or weekend.

Created by

I worked with frontend. From design to API calls. I also worked in the backend, but in the 3rd challenge, and we couldn't finish this one until the deadline.
I didn't know how much we could create in a single day (or couple days).

Fernando Falci
I worked on Backend side, from the initial setup, helping on the definition of the project's dependencies such as Google Guice and Jersey, to the game logics implementation and REST Api definition and integration with Redis NoSQL.

I also created Unit tests using JUnit and Mockito and Integration Tests with Rest Assured.

Our team had fun during the entire weekend and we are proud of resolving this challenge.

31 years old, I have 5 years experience working as back end developer with Java based technologies.
I worked on the backend setting up base structure for the project, configuring dependencies (jersey, guice..), learned how manage
Redis NoSQL , implemented game logics at I also did loads of tests
using curl to check responses at client side.
The project API is hosted under Heroku domain and it uses an instance of Redis running at RedisLabs. It was my first time working with Redis, Heroku and Slack integration, which was a bit intimidating at first, but with
this amazing team, we could manage those integrations.
This project made us more confident and taught us how to make a plan
and organize the ideas to achieve the objective.

I am back-end developer experienced in JAVA technologies, currently developing distributed systems using microservices architecture.
Worked with the team since the first definitions and decisions such as technologies (language, database), structure, work distribution, until the project submission.
Programming on the backend side, created endpoint APIs for the main game calls, chatbot integration with Slack (basic endpoints and image response generation), and unit test for all that.
