Inspiration: When we first walked onto CMU's campus, we were overwhelmed by the towering buildings, the winding paths, and the complex layout.
What it does: Through a fun, interactive game that incorporates many of the iconic aspects of the CMU community, we introduce new students to our beautiful campus and our lovable mascot. Students will target scotty's placed all over campus, using a dog treat cannon that shoots biscuits.
How we built it: We incorporated Java's graphics libraries to code intricate game designs.
Challenges we ran into: Getting a projectile to shoot out of a cannon, making the targets appear and move, and having the cannon follow the mouse.
Accomplishments that we're proud of: Making the target appear and move around the screen and working towards one goal.
What we learned: Graphics, labeling, and of course- the value of teamwork.
What's next for Biscotty: Our project can be scaled to other college campuses to create a brand new freshmen immersion experience.
