Inspiration
This was my first hackathon, so I was wondering what to do. Then, I was struck by the idea of creating short fun games inspired by childhood memories. We all have played tic tac toe, memory game, or word scramble once in our childhood. In addition, I was really impressed by the bots on other websites, which made me want to add one to my website as well.
What it does
Creative Minds is a multi-purpose website where you can either play fun, brain teaser games (there are three as of now) or talk about general things with the bot Xion.
How I built it
I built this website using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and API. Although my experience in coding is limited, I wanted to test my skills, and it was worth a try.
Challenges I ran into
As a beginner, making this website responsive to all screens was pretty hard, especially the hamburger menu. Coding three games and a bot, finding assets for games, and making sure there were no bugs in the program within a few days were indeed very challenging.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Finally, I am proud of the final product and what I managed to do within the challenge. The website looks stunning; the games are fun and Xion functions properly.
What I learned
From this hackathon, I learned to never give up and always give my best. Although I ran into many troubles and had to scrap many ideas, my resilience and conviction kept me going. I joined this hackathon to get the feel, and now, I am more confident and my coding skills have greatly improved.
What's next for Creative Minds
- adding more games
- making Xion more intelligent
- sign up/ log in for users
- optimizing the overall website
