Inspiration

This game was inspired by games like Undertale and flash games from the early 2000's, like those hosted on homestarrunner.com

What it does

You play as Buddy, the mascot for the Louisville Bats. Your goal is to defeat a variety of enemies in venues around Louisville to deliver a special baseball bat to the Louisville Bats.

How we built it

We made this game iteratively using Claude Code, building it up slowly step by step. Features Javascript, HTML, and CSS. Deployed through Github Pages that connects to a QR Code

Challenges we ran into

We found it difficult to work collaboratively since the backend frontend and everything else can all be done in one step now.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This game is thoroughly Louisville to its core. Features tons of references to Louisville culture, and even features a soundtrack by a local indie musician Joseph Ambrose. Game is irreverent in a very enjoyable and child friendly way.

What we learned

How to work collaboratively with Git, which is made very easy with Claude Code ,

What's next for Buddy the Bat

Should this game be picked and deployed, we would like to add a feature that changes the competitor at the away game to whoever the Bats are currently facing.
