Bubble Wrap Popping Game

Inspiration

When packaged goods came in bubble wraps, I always enjoyed popping them before throwing it. The pop sound that I got was very satisfying to me. I have had friends who said they loved doing that too. So why not make a game !

What it does

The game allows you to pop bubbles in the bubble wrap sheet. There is a satisfactory pop sound associated with it.

How I built it

I used Reddits developer platform in order to build the app so it can be played by reddit users.

Challenges I ran into

I was having trouble understanding the deployment part because my deploy script did not work properly when I cloned the repo. So, i isolated the script and ran it individually to be able to upload devvit assets to the reddit platform. Another issue was since I did not know my deploy script was working fine or not. I happened to have tried deploying the same version app multiple times. So during `npm run dev' command, I saw unwanted menu items that carried old changes. I was having difficulty understanding if my dev changes had propagated.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I was able to find the best way to integrate the bubble pop sound. Also the random ghost algorithm is something I'm proud of because that came into my mind while playing the game to think if something can making it even more interesting. Now, the app is available publicly and can be used by users to play the game.

What I learned

Developing games for reddit was sth I hadn't explored before. This allowed me to run how to develop game in reddit, test it and deploy it.

What's next for Bubble Wrap Popping Game

Adding leaderboards and more fun UI. Something like adding longer time duration, adding variation to be able to kill the ghost if it tries to unpop the bubble by clicking it. And more fun variation down the way.
