BaseBall Guessing Game

Inspiration

Our project was inspired by the classic 1v1 number guessing games and the desire to create an engaging and interactive experience for our first hackathon. We wanted to build a game that combined logic, strategy, and a bit of luck, providing players with a fun and challenging way to test their skills.

What it does

It allows one to play this guessing game with a friend, where you take turns guessing each other's number to get hints on what it is from previous attempts.

How we built it

This game was built using Python, leveraging the Tkinter library for the graphical user interface, and using the Google Colab platform to share and store our code. The game logic involved asking players for their secret numbers, evaluating player guesses, and managing the turn-based gameplay. Tkinter facilitated the creation of an intuitive and visually appealing interface, enhancing the user experience.

Challenges we ran into

As this was our first hackathon, we had trouble landing on a project to do since we had different backgrounds and little experience. Some of us had to learn Python, and some had to learn Tkinter. There was also the problem of Tkinter only working on IDE's and not the google colab platform.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were proud of ourselves for eventually making what we did with the little experience with the tools that we had.

What we learned

This being our first hackathon project, we gained valuable insights into collaborative coding, project management, and incorporating graphical elements using Tkinter. We deepened our understanding of game logic, user input validation, and the overall software development lifecycle.

What's next for BaseBall Guessing Game

There are no big plans for this project right now.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The provided code link is hosted on Google Colab, which unfortunately doesn't support Tkinter for GUI applications. To run the project successfully, please download the Python file and run it locally on your machine using an IDE or environment that supports Tkinter, such as VS Code, PyCharm, or directly via the terminal.

Created by

With my lack of knowledge in Python, I was able to help my team by helping troubleshoot and do research as they needed. I helped work on the front-end.

Fatema Apattad
I worked on front-end using tkinter and also combining the backend program and frontend program.

Ryo Sato
I mainly helped with the back-end, including creating the functions necessary for the game to run logically and efficiently.

Matthew Lucas Santiago
I helped work on both ends. On back-end I helped my teammate with creation, debugging and addition of features to his code. On front-end, I helped test and look for fixes for my other teammates' code.
