Inspiration
Inspiration came from a similar football HighLow game, where you guess players market values. At first I wanted to do something involving live basketball stats and upcoming scheadules, which will update themselves, but ran into trouble, that this kind of statistics cost a lot of money and websites that provide them usualy don't like web scraping. It was then I decided to use database of previous season statistic and create this game.
What it does
You simply guess, which player has a higher characteristic or had a higher stat previous season (It can also be equal). Number of points you get is number of correct answers you gave in a row until failing. At the start of the game you can choose by which stat or characteristic you want to compare players.
How we built it
It was built with C#, using MS Visual studio. Game is done as a ASP.NET web form, and it's front-end is done by simple HTML and CSS.
Challenges we ran into
Acquiring and putting the database of whole previous season into use was probably the hardest thing. Also weren't able to acquire live statistics.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Proud to make it in time (although major improvements, mostly in front-end, needed), and also to make a game / app, that I would genuinely use myself.
What's next for Euroleague players HighLow game
Expanding it to not only euroleague, but also NBA and other leagues, plus adding older seasons is the first step. Of course front-end needs major improvements. Also would like to add two players mode, where both players guess same questions and winner is the one that stays longest.
