Money, Money

Bitcoin. To some people, it's an investment for large returns, but for many others, it's a confusing and terrifying concept. The game, "Money, Money" aims to make Bitcoin fun through arcade levels.

Comment

Inspiration

The fear of the general public on Bitcoin and the collective nostalgia of playing "Sugar, Sugar" on the web as kids.

What it does

A landing page was made to inform the user of the game. Screenshots, controls, a story, and a download button are neatly displayed on the site.

How we built it

We used Visual Studio & C++ and Visual Studio Code & HTML + CSS to create a website & game. Git and Github were also utilized for version control. JavaScript & Twilio Email API will be utilized on a later version. Built a Particle Engine to simulate coins falling due to gravity.

Challenges we ran into

Setting up C++, HTML, CSS, and Git. We also could not use JavaScript and Twilio Email API due to a lack of internet/server-side resources for hosting a database. Creating a responsive website

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Set up a clean landing page with a functional download function. Smooth game mechanics with multiple levels and creative and consistent Pixel art style through game and website.

What we learned

How to create a download file function with HTML, limitations of JavaScript, more efficient version control, and how to code in C++ more efficiently.

What's next for Money, Money

Creating a database on a server to host the website. Then we can utilize Twilio's Email API to email people who downloaded the game a thank you letter, and to check out other games made by the creators of Money, Money. Adding an end screen saying click to redeem saved change for a Bitcoin.
