Cowbell Ringer

Inspiration

When we first grouped up, we were talking about simple apps/games that went viral. Cookie clicker was one of those apps, and one of us came up with the idea to do the same thing, but with a cowbell.

What it does

You press the space-bar a lot and buy stuff.

How we built it

The game was built with the Unity engine which uses C# for all of its coding.

Challenges we ran into

None of us on the team knew anything about C# or Unity, so we had to teach ourselves literally overnight throughout the creation of this using Youtube and Unity's website.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are most proud that we taught ourselves C# and Unity for this. We are also very proud we got the "+1 hype" text to appear correctly. We believe it was the hardest part.

What we learned

We learned how to better cooperate as a team, and we strengthened our programming skills dramatically as well.

What's next for Cowbell Ringer

Android support and a few more features we didn't have time for today.

Created by

I brought up the idea of making a game using Unity Game Engine. I taught and explain basic steps of how to use to Unity to my teammates. I also worked on the main page where create the bell and background, make the bell rotate, have audio, and increment hype. I also did the +1 hype floating features using data pool all by myself. I created the files and set up the layout for my team mates to work off of. I set up the window resolution and presentation. I taught my team mates how to use button and text which is a big part of this program. and I helped with the finish touches at the end as well.

I created the start screen, and wrote the scripts for the store buttons in C#which I have never used. I learned a lot about using unity and collaborating with teammates.
