HackeMate in Flight-Mode

Inspiration

Vueling program for HackUPC2023.

What it does

Connects passengers without the need of Internet access.

How we built it

Using Pygame and socket packages of Python.

Challenges we ran into

Front-end, communication between server and client.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The final product.

What we learned

How to use front-end and server-to-client coommunication.

What's next for HackeMate in Flight-Mode

We have implemented some mini-games that can be played between passengers without the need of an Internet connection. We have used "socket" package to demo the idea in the localhost of our computer. The next step will be to create the app for mobile phones and use the same connection process with Bluetooth of mobile phones. In this setup, the server would be the intern connection that an airplane could have, and the users could connect to this server. With even less, we could try to connect the mobile phones between them without the need of a server.
