MemPaint

Inspiration

We wanted to create a low-stakes project that allows people to have fun while training their brain!

What it does

Our project tests the user's memory by providing a randomly generated image that gradually disappears, and the player is tasked with recreating it in a short amount of time. With each of the four rounds, the image becomes more complex and disappears faster.

How we built it

We used libraries and frameworks such as Node.js, MongoDB, Express, HTML, and CSS to design a web app that can perform the above requirements.

Challenges we ran into

Being able to integrate the database in a meaningful manner

Accomplishments that we're proud of

One feature we developed is the increase in difficulty with each round of the game. As the game progresses, the probability that two squares of the same color will appear next to each other decreases, making the image design seem more random and harder to replicate. We are also proud of our overall teamwork and good collaboration skills, and having fun!

What we learned

For some of us, this was our first Hackathon, so we gained valuable Hackathon experience. We also learned how to collaborate effectively by using GitHub within VSCode.
