Inspiration
As new college students, many of our team members have faced fatigue and lack of sleep. To combat this during exam and project weeks, we all turned to drinking more coffee. However, we noticed some side effects such as jittery hands, anxiousness, and other unpleasantries. To avoid this in the future and help others develop mindfulness of their caffeine consumption we developed our program, CoffeeCap.
What it does
It allows users to log their caffeine intake and helps ensure that it does not exceed the recommended daily dose of 400 milligrams.
How we built it
Our team developed this project using object-oriented principles in Java.
Challenges we ran into
Originally, our team aimed to create a webpage to host this program, however, we quickly realized we did not have enough time to learn how to implement JSP files to take our Java code from terminal to webpage.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Our team was able to use skills that we had learned through coursework and implement them creatively. Additionally, this program required more intricate logic than what we are accustomed to, so we are proud to have been able to create a successful end product.
What we learned
Our team has learned a great deal about project planning, especially in terms of outlining a program. Individually, we have all learned more about the experience of a hackathon and the unique environment of the event.
What's next for CoffeeCap
We hope to continue building this program, taking it from where it is now to actually utilizing a webpage and reformatting the structure of our code.
