Inspiration

I wanted to make a light, casual game that anyone on Reddit could play quickly. The idea of hiding objects behind windows felt funny and simple enough to turn into a guessing challenge.

What it does

Players see an image covered by windows. They click letters to guess the object’s name, and as they guess correctly, the hidden image is revealed part by part.

How we built it

The game is built with React and Devvit. I used state management with useReducer and hooks for game logic, added multiple levels, and connected everything into a working playable flow.

Challenges we ran into

-Handling state transitions between levels smoothly. -Avoiding score deductions on wrong guesses. -Making sure the game logic reset correctly when restarting. -the main challenge i faced was storing and accessing the user score. I have never done this and so i didn't know how to do it so i research a lot particularly on reddit on how other dev have done it, watch youtube videos, use ai to further understand it

Accomplishments that we're proud of

-Completed a playable multi-level guessing game. -Clean state management with almost no major bugs. -Made the game funny, light, and easy to play on Reddit.

What we learned

-How to use Devvit for interactive Reddit apps. -Better understanding of React hooks and reducers. -The importance of polish and testing for a smooth experience.

What's next for Guess the object

-More levels and categories of objects so user can guess the objects for that specific category. -Extra features like hints, and multiplayer challenges.
