Inspiration
We considered the life of a space cowboy and what would they do? They probably would hunt down and capture galactic monsters throughout the galaxy!
What it does
It's a twist on the traditional idle rpg game genre in that to power up your galaxy ranger by absorbing powers and stat from objects from another dimension (our world!) to defeat galactic monsters on the loose.
So basically using your camera you can take a picture of anything and it will fall under 6 different categories that will count toward different stats. With those stats you have to defeat the enemies within the allotted time.
How we built it
We used React to create our front end and manage our states and for the backend we used Express to be our proxy server that would interact with Gemini API. Gemini is what is analyzing the image and identifying them.
Challenges we ran into
Getting all our seperate pieces to work together in cohesively! We each worked on different parts of the game like UI, game logic, the scanner, and managed to get everything together and working as one.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Adding all the core functional features into our game in such little time. There are many more things to add but we're super proud of what we've created from just tonight.
What's next for Galactic Cowboy in the WildSpace
It would be super cool to make it so that we have a prop in real life like a ray gun that will scan objects and level up our cowboy that way. There also a lot that can be done in terms of the RPG aspect like different classes, different buffs, different armor or equipment. cooler monsters and custom animations and sprites for our game.
