Pomodori in itself was an idea to help fix some terrible study habits that a lot of college students form.
Our group is made up of 3 students who did not know each other prior to this competition. When we first discussed what we should create, the idea of a time management game came to mind. Brain - Wanted to use his knowledge of Python to create a small game for the users to play. Zach - Wanted to use his knowledge of HTML and CSS to create a well presented website. Jared - Wanted to use his Ruby on rails knowledge to create a server back end.
Over the course of the HackMizzou2014, our team was able to: -Get a website up and running to house the information and game. -Create a back end to the website so that users can sign in and have their own personalized pages for high scores and such. -Create a small example of the game we had in mind for the website.
Our greatest achievement was taking the game (Written in Python Game) and converting it into a web based game using Javascript and HTML5. None of us have ever used Javascript for games, and none of us had ever used HTML5 to draw images. This challenge proved to take up a lot of our development time as we needed to learn a lot of new code.
