Inspiration
My team and I love watching the NBA, so we thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we could search for a particular player, and get all their career stats?"
What it does
You can search for a particular person, and we'll display back to you that particular person's overall stats!
How we built it
We built this using Python Flask to route the HTML, CSS, and JS onto webpages
Challenges we ran into
One of the main challenges we ran into was getting the search bar to work. From the JS, we weren't able to call a Python function, which we would pass in a user inputted name, into a function that parses that name, and creates a dataframe displaying that person's particular stats.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
One of the main accomplishments we're proud of was getting the website to finally work. To finally display some sort of information, some sort of visualization, just anything.
What we learned
The main thing we learned was being able to utilize Python Flask to create and build a webpage
What's next for NBA Player Tracker
The main thing we need to improve on is styling the webpage, and making it look much nicer. For this, we mainly focused on getting the application to work properly, and just provide some basic functionality.
