Pocket Fighter

I was inspired by Pokemon and fighting games. I wanted to make a fighting game where, instead of picking from a pre-set list of characters, you could fight with anyone and anything that exists on the internet. Currently, basic matchmaking has been implemented. You can enter the name of any character or thing, and the game will scrape Wikipedia to obtain the image for your character. You will then be pitted against another player and their fighter. However, we did not have time to implement the actual game logic. We initially planned to add alot more cool features that could be obtained from scraping the internet, including special stats for characters based on their real-life social media presence (for example, the number of Twitter followers they have).
