Inspiration
With card based memory games being popular, I wanted to convert this into a text based environment.
What it does
Memory Frost is a winter themed :snowman: memory game, which allows users to play ranked or casual modes. There are randomized strings which can be printed in a grid or row format, along with a score board.
Features
- Winter theme
- Game Modes
- Menu
- Scoring system
- Clear UI (ANSI escape codes, ASCII art, Visual Effects)
- File Handling
- Input validation
- Modular
How we built it
Memory Frost was made by Naman Saxena, through Eclipse and focused towards a younger target audience.
Challenges we ran into
Being my second only hackathon, transferring files to create a GitHub repo was a new process. Additionally, validating user inputs to choose an String index took some effort.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Utilizing files to save a values was a new experience, which taught me how to be able to hold information after the code has terminated. I learned this through online tutorials, and had to adapt it to write and read arrays.
What we learned
- How to use threading
- IOException
- ANSI escape codes
- Sound and file use
What's next for Memory Frost
In the future, I would like to include a powerup aspect in the ranked games, allowing users to gain more lives, multipliers or expand the current number of levels.
