Marauders Magic

Inspiration

What it does

Through Geolocation, allows the user to view the world through our own map design, interacting with events that occur along the way as they move around a space.

How we built it

With a Rails backend and client side JS utilising Pubnub and Mapbox APIs

Challenges we ran into

Sequence of Javascripts

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Finn's 19 solid hours coding. The first time anyone in the team had used the Pubnub and Mapbox APIs, so having some form of functionality feels like a pretty solid achievement.

What we learned

A load of new Javascript, how to use Mapbox, customise maps and using Pubnub for client subscription to events.

What's next for Marauders Magic

Just ship it.
