Base Conversion Game

It's a game where the user gets to practice their skills converting from base 10 to 2. The program has a practice mode, which teaches the fundamentals of conversion, and a survival mode to test skills

Inspiration

The ability to convert from base 10 to binary is a fun and useful skill to teach children that want to go into computer science.

What it does

The GUI has two main different game modes to teach the user about conversion. The practice game mode helps teach the user about the different steps in solving the conversion by challenging them with solving "Convert X from base 10 to base 2" and by giving them hints about their current solution. Survival mode gets rid of the hints and implements a challenge of completing levels of increasingly challenging problems, with each level having more problems than the last.

How we built it

Using Java and the Swing GUI libraries.

Challenges we ran into

Ran out of time as I attempted to do this project by myself. Have strange errors with the Swing GUI.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Did the hackathon solo, proud of the progress I made.

What we learned

I had never built a game or GUI before in java, got a bunch of experience in those fields from the hackathon.

What's next for Base Conversion Game

Need to implement a tutorial and guide for the different modes. A high score feature for the survival mode.
