Debugger

Inspiration

What it should do

Debugger lets students eliminate an army of bugs threatening UCSC's Science and Engineering Library. These bugs pop out from behind trees, fences, and other objects then disappear. The player must use the mouse that is in the shape of a crosshair to shoot down the bugs. When shot, these bugs are not just insects, but also common programming bugs. This game is meant to act as a stress-reliever for students when they struggle with programming assignments and computer science as a whole.

How we built it

Using CSS, HTML, Javascript, tears, sweat and love

Challenges we ran into

We're beginners! Coding in Javascript when we are most proficient with Java

Accomplishments that we're proud of

At least our code compiles and kills bugs

What we learned

We learned that taking crash courses on Codecademy and then trying to code in those languages in a 11 hour time block is really painful, especially for beginners like us. Also, we learned more about Git and HTML and that programming is basically getting information and utilizing it (i.e Google and Stack Overflow).
