Inspiration
I love meeting new people and hearing their perspective on life and see how different environments, ages, and so many other factors have a huge effect on how people think, act and view things. During the first quarantine, it was right after my first year of University, and I haven't showed up to any of my friends social gatherings all year, which really affected my mental health. Due to the world shutting down thanks to COVID, it was difficult to see all my friends again and actually go to social gatherings. Being combined with stress all year, then going straight to being alone at home was horrible. However, once I began to see my friends more and more, I found what caused my mental state to not do so well was because I was lacking communication with others, and that's what inspired me to make this program!
What it does
I am a beginner (learnt Python during quarantine!), so its not the greatest, but it inputs information about you and a variable named stranger and it finds what each persons zodiac sign is, and prints if they would be good friends.
How I built it
Wing101
Challenges I ran into
I didn't exactly know how to get another random input and I didn't know how to supposedly let these two strangers talk in a hatbox anonymously.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
This was my first project, and I am proud it was personal and was motivated by something that had a huge impact on me and probably does for many others.
What I learned
Planning is very important!
What's next for HacksofKindnessSel
Definitely following up with more events hosted by Hacks of Kindness!! Also, learning more about programming and web design and joining more Hackathons.
