Inspiration
We were inspired by GeoGuessr to create a similar game but time-based.
What it does
Chrono-Estimater is a web-based game that allows players to enter a guess for the year in which they think a photograph was taken, and based on the difficulty mode, closeness of the answer, and scoring algorithm, a number of points is awarded.
How we built it
We built Chrono-Estimater using Python on Streamlit, using Pandas and a Github webhook for instant deployment.
Challenges we ran into
Using a database for a project like this is a bit of an overkill, so we had some trouble trying to set up the session-storing system using the Streamlit API.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The UI looks pretty good! And it works exactly how we'd intended :)
What we learned
That I never want to use JavaScript for a web app ever again. Python is just awesome.
What's next for Chrono-Estimater
[] More game modes: different centuries, scoring systems, timed rounds, etc. [] A public leaderboard of the highest-ranking players in each game mode [] An editor for players to make their own ChronoMaps
