Inspiration
We wanted to make something in the same style as a JAckbox game that everyone at the event could stop by and play.
What it does
People can join and be pitted against each other in competitions (drawing their icon, giving their dating profile sections and straight up coin flips!) There's a main screen on the admin page with a bit of global info.
How we built it
We've used Next.js with a Python backend hosted on a personal server.
Challenges we ran into
A good deal of merge conflicts, switching to storing the game state to JSON, setting up the server and generally getting used to React but we made it!!
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Getting it hooked up to the server really, it's just a website anyone can use!
What we learned
We can make good stuff quick when there's the pressure! Tailwind is awesome
What's next for Hook Me Up!
More minigame types? Addressing bugs that will inevitably appear when we test it with 20 players? Let's see what happens!
