Inspiration
One thing that inspired us is the usefulness of google, as it gathers information from so many websites and displays them.
What it does
It scrapes games from steam and gog which has the relevant name and displays the link, name, price, and setup requirements.
How we built it
we built it through python, using the module beautiful soup and urllib.request. we utilized the urllib.request to get the website and through beautiful soup we retrieved the needed information.
Challenges we ran into
At first we wanted to make it into a website, yet we found it too time consuming to do so, so we switched to making an exe file with pyinstaller module.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
One thing that we are proud of is that we actually went through with it
What we learned
we learned the many functions of python, including the process of scraping and making an app out of a python file
