Pirate Hunt

where pirates need help!

Comment

Inspiration

What inspired me the most is that doing it alone and taking it as a challenge. And secondly the theme of the hackathon and then thinking about pirates that what if they got stuck in between the sea. What is they need help. So I came with this idea of how to help pirates when they are at their hard time but adding a little flavor is that getting their needs fulfilled with twist of playing treasure hunt with them.

What it does

Pirate Hunt is the project where in the real world we think that Pirates are those who attacks and robs ships at sea, but they are also human beings like us and what if the pirates got stuck in the sea and they got nothing to do but just seeing around for help. This Project as the name says helps Pirates if they need any help like food, engineers for some technical issue, medial staff, or direction in case they are lost. Through this project they can get all these stuff but the fun and amazing part is that its not the shopping store where you can buy and get. Pirate Hunt, Pirates need to play/answer some questions related the thing they are asking for. These questions are some sort of treasure hunt which will lead them to their requirement they need.

How I built it

I used React.js along with HTML and CSS and firebase for backend

Challenges I ran into

The challenges that I came across are many, it is my 2nd hackathon, 1st was Bon Hacketit last weekend, but the main challenge was that this time I was working alone so thinking from idea to make it real and then from making front-end and backend and linking both together are the challenges that I came across.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I'm proud of that finally I have done it and accomplished all my challenges that I came across. I'm proud of that it's been just two weeks of starting of my hackathon journey and this time making it individually is just a proud things for me.

What I learned

I have learnt how to register for domain name, how to make full front-end and back-end project, how to use firebase for database, how to manage time for doing all stuff from 0 to 1.

What's next for Pirate Hunt

What's next is that we can add feature where we could track the ships so that it will be easy for shipments of their need and then we can also add feature where we could track ships within some radius so that in case we are not able to provide items early they could help them in any sort of thing.
