This idea is inspired from one of my previous program which I have to simulate the planet orbit of the solar system.
The system reads a number from the user and generates a corresponding number of balls on a page of court, each with a different appearance, direction and speed, and bouncing off the wall.
This project uses Java Standard Draw provided by Princeton University as the main display tool. And some Java code.
I had a lot of difficulties because this was my first Hackathon and I was still a sophomore. At first, I hardly knew what to do. It took me a long time to come up with an idea. Someone asked me if I wanted to join their team, but after I responded I waited for a long time without a reply. I started my project after that. However, since my school work took up unexpected amount of time, many functions that I wanted to achieve were not realized.
I'm probably proud of the fact that I managed to make even a little bit of something and submit it as a work. This is probably the first of everything I wanted to do at my first Hackathon.
I didn't get a chance to learn anything technically, but I felt I had at least experienced the process of generating ideas all by myself and finding the tools to implement them, as well as a small online hackathon, which was valuable. (And I better empty my schedual to participate hackathon next time)
Unfortunately I didn't get all the features, but I'm going to add a player class and object, add the ability to move the player, interact with the ball, and dunk with the ball! Also, the rule of win and lose.
