Inspiration

I was inspired to do this project because I wanted to build an interactive game, I originally wanted to control the game with my phone, but I was not able to get it deployed out in time

What it does

This is a unity game which is able to take commands from a website I also made. The website is the controller while unity displays the game.

How we built it

The website was built with nodejs and express. The game was built using unity.

Challenges we ran into

I originally wanted to use gRPC for communicating back and forth, but I was unable to configure it properly with Unity and had to switch course.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am really proud I even got Unity and my website to communicate. I made it a lot harder on myself than it should have been.

What we learned

I think I learned a lot about APIs in particular, I also did a lot more web development in general than I previously had. I better understand the capabilities of the tools I used as well (node.js, express, and Unity).
