Inspiration

The popular 15 puzzle inspired Mystic Square.

What it does

Our program simulates Mystic Square using Python, and makes it easily accessible

How we built it

We built our program on repl.it. Specifically, we used a random generator and arrays for the board, and the w, a, s, and d keys to move the tiles.

Challenges we ran into

Our first challenge that we ran into was identifying a theme for our program. We also ran into a few syntax errors through which we lost a lot of time. Another issue we faced was cleanly formatting and organizing our code.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're very proud of our program, because it is our first hackathon, and we're also proud that we could finish our code within a few hours.

What we learned

We learned about the benefits of working as a team, as well as the numerous uses of coding to solve any problem that one is faced with. We liked the workshops and the opportunity to learn new things, especially for beginners.

What's next for Mystic Square

Making it an app or website and adding better visuals would be the next step for Mystic Square. Another possible improvement is only giving solvable boards to the user by finding a solvable pattern.
