Slido

Inspiration

Slido was inspired by another word based puzzle called Wordle where players had to guess a five letter word

What it does

In plain terms in Slido you are assigned to organize five five letter words which are jumbled in the puzzle.

How we built it

Slido is built using Flutter. Statemanagement is handled with Get package and sound effects are handled with audioplayer package. The board and puzzle states are also managed with a Two-dimensional array, which is the base of Slido .

Challenges we ran into

_The biggest challenge with Slido was keeping the puzzle solvable yet equally difficult so that it would be challenging and not boring. _

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Working with Flutter, this is the first app I was able to create for multiple platforms. I was also able to add in some cool animations on menu screen and catchy sound effects. Overall I am proud that I was able to complete this puzzle and it works smoothly over all the planned platforms.

What we learned

Slido taught me a lot of things, this is my first hackathon and when I decided on becoming a part of it, I never imagined I will build something similar. Slido went through a lot of changes and it isn't what I first imagined it to be but I am happy how it turned out to be and I am looking forward to being part of more hackathons to come.

What's next for Slido

Slido has a long way to go. I had already planned to implement a scoring system and putting it online so people would compete with each other, but it was not possible considering the time frame and the main objective. I also plan on creating levels and difficulty setting so that Slido can attract different groups of people.
