Cohesion

normal state
selected clusters

Inspiration

Few weeks ago, a big creator JackSucksAtLife questioned in his reddit videos the presence of a custom connections game website, we were determined to create one then, at the same time we also came to know about this hackathon it was a easy decision to create this game.

What it does

users can create cohesions(basically connections) where they provide cluster of words and context, these game boards are then rendered as webviews(custom post) on that particular subreddit. Other users can play the games and enjoy a social experience.

How we built it

So this is where it gets tricky, first we decided we decided to built a web version of the same project, so we built the whole game in sveltekit. Later we ported all components and functions to Devvit platform. Both now being independent of each other.

Challenges we ran into

Passing state between multi stage forms menu item: yes we had to make a workaround where we kept a disabled field with json data to pass states between the forms Context in non conventional places: we needed to use toast in places that didn't define UI contexts, unfortunately we couldn't get around this issue, so when creating a new game we cant navigate to it :(

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Converting Svelte into Devvit

Correctly passing data to where needed

What we learned

Its really fun exploring newer libraries or frameworks where little docs and support makes us more proud of completing each new objective however difficult/stupid it might have been
