Inspiration
We were inspired by online shopping sites such as Amazon and eBay. We picked the silk road trading period as our historical event because we all learned about it in school and thought it was interesting.
What it does
Our site provides a safer and more efficient way for the people to trade their items for other valuables. It is very user friendly and has a huge variety of different items to purchase.
How I built it
We used java, which we all learned in high school last year. We used GUI interface and File IO.
Challenges I ran into
It was very hard for the three of us to collaborate on one project because we had to constantly share all of the new updates we made to the code.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
This is our first hackathon and we are very proud of the fact that not only did we finish the entire project, but also that we created a quality product.
What I learned
We learned a lot through this experience in many different aspects of our life. We've improved immensely in java coding, but we also learned a lot about how to work with a team and how to use our time effectively.
What's next for Byte Hacks 2020 Project
We will probably work on converting our java project into an HTML project so that our site can be an actual website. We also want to learn how to make our site accessible to the public.
