Inspiration
The major inspiration for this was the concept of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's guide, which contained information about many of the galaxy's species, planets, and much more. We simply wanted to give others a delightful, educational experience from history.
What it does
This project allows you to explore the intrepid in the comfort of your own home, along with text-to-speech that makes the experience feel like a tour! Exhibits and information are all displayed, along with images of the exhibits themselves.
How I built it
We built it with Cloud 9, using JavaScript, JQuery, CSS, and HTML.
Challenges I ran into
Matching the images/info of the exhibits to each individual page
Making a functioning search bar and also learning about template literal.
Creating a system that is intuitive to use and scalable.
Finding a good style for all the pages
A change I was making the Intrepid move in the mining game
My challenge was creating the audio for the text-to-speech.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Getting our project to actually function
I'm proud of our teamwork and how much communication went into it
I'm proud of getting the audio to work somewhat, although, in the end, something happened to prohibit that.
I am happy with how the map turned out and I can more if I wanted too
What I learned
We learned that we need to coordinate our work better as otherwise, our changes can make other member's code malfunction.
I learned how to work as a team/unit also learned more about javascript.
I believe we learned that collaborating and helping each other would definitely benefit from this experience, and in order to maintain a job well done, this is essential.
What's next for Intrepid Explorer
Adding a proximity-based function would definitely be the next step.
