Robot Chef

As a Robot Chef, customers come to you with no idea what to order. Use your robot-scanning ability to reveal their preferences and serve them the perfect meal from three delicious options!

Inspiration

I was inspired by many restaurant games. Some great examples would be "Cooking Fever" and "Burger Shop", but I wanted it to stand out and represent efficiency on another level. So, I made the chef a robot and have it scan the customers and give their orders without them having to say anything. I believe that this is already something that's happening in the real world. More and more AI are taking over jobs. While it is scary to see more jobs being taken over by AI, it also shows how far we've come in our technology and I'm curious to see what we create next.

What it does

Robot Chef is a game that helps you practice making smart choices with data. You play as a robot chef who scans customers to learn what they like. You then use that information to pick the best meal for them. The game teaches you how to quickly look at information and make the best decision, which is a key skill for any job.

How we built it

I used the Godot game engine and its GDScript language, it's similar to python. Since it's a high-level programming language, it was easier to use with little time.

Challenges we ran into

I have little experience writing code in GDScript, so getting the randomizer, timer, and if-statements to work properly took a lot of trial and error, but I'm happy with the outcome.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This is my first Hackathon, so this was a completely new experience for me. I joined the Hackathon a day late and without a team, but I still wanted to give it a try. This is also the first game I've ever made, so I'm just really happy I was able to turn my idea into a reality.

What we learned

I have a better understanding of how to you Godot and write in GDScript. I also learned that you can't create something perfect in one try. It takes a lot of patience and failures to get somewhere.

What's next for Robot Chef

I want to make Robot Chef even better by adding a smarter AI, a timer system for waiting customers, and maybe create different versions of this game by focusing on other workforces, like medical, police, and business.
