Fastest route finder

Inspiration

The theme was transportation. I initially wanted to create the magic mirror from shrek but he acts like a GPS tracker. However, I figured out that it was way too challenging because it involved hardware which I did not have. So instead I compensated with a fun little game.

What it does

It calculates the fastest route from point A to point B. It also calculates calories burned walking from point A to point B.

How we built it

I created a HTML file and coded in a home page with buttons and images. Then, I used javascript to incorporate the maps interface as well as the calories. I also used JS to create the snake game

Challenges we ran into

Trying to learn how to code using html and JavaScript. Honestly, web development was a whole new concept for me and it was really hard to create a website which has good user interface as well as a good foundation. It was also hard to figure out how to generate images in the proper orientation.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am really proud with the game. I think it is a really cool idea. I got the Idea from my dad when he did this when he was working as an electrical engineer and presented it to his bosses. I am also proud of the calorie counter as well because I think it is incredibly cool how simple it was to do the calculations. It was basic dimensional analysis.

What we learned

I learned the basics of web design as well as well as the basics of game design when I was making this project. I also learned that coding is extremely challenging but it is all worth it in the end.

What's next for Fastest route finder

I want to create this using an actual API key. I did not use it for this project because it costs money and it was too time consuming but in the future I really want to make the generating process almost instant. I also want to make it more organized
