Inspiration

We originally wanted to create an application that compared grocery prices by using public APIs. We struggled with the authentication tokens, however, so we decided to pivot to something that was more in our scope. Most of the API tutorials we followed had us gathering information about cats, so we decided to make a fun cat card game.

What it does

It gathers data from a website dedicated to cat facts, compiles that information to make cat stats, and then does a lot of backend data processing to create the cards that are used in the game.

How we built it

We built the game using python and using public APIs.

Challenges we ran into

Since we had never used APIs or made a game, we had to watch a lot of tutorials on both subjects. We did extensive research and went through a lot of trial and error.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Despite the game not having all the aspects we had hoped when we set out, we are proud that we were able to create a minimum viable product and prove that our concept worked. We are especially proud of being able to implement all the new things we learned.

What we learned

We learned a lot about object-oriented programming, game design, and APIs. The coolest part, in our opinion, is the engine that allows users to play against a bot.
