Inspiration
Avid fans of card games and interested in how they can be involved in retail gamification.
What it does
Creates a Pawn Shop that sells products which chances to get up to $250 dollars off through the rewards systems, an aspect of retail-gamification. Stores user information in a database such as rewards, coupon codes, usernames, and passwords.
How we built it
Using React, we designed a website that users interact with, which is combined with a MySQL database that stores user information for the developers to manage on the backend.
Challenges we ran into
Neither of us were familiar with using React that interacts with a MySQL server npm modules installed from the internet would have issues when pushed through git from MacOs to Windows operating systems.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Create a working website that successfully interacts with MySQL server based on user inputs and interactions with the website.
What we learned
How to use React and MySQL together Learning to account for edge cases in user information in the backend
What's next for Golden Jackets
Redesigning the website for a cleaner and more pleasing aesthetic Looking for more edge cases with user interactions and updating from there
