Inspiration
This project is inspired by the challenge: building a useless hack that uses an API. I got inspired by some of the streams about APIs that I watched, in which the Pokemon API was called out multiple times. I used this API to build a Rock Paper Scissor suggester. As RPS is all about luck, this app is truly, completely, useless!
What it does
It sends a quick string that tells the user what the best pick is (Rock, paper or scissor) with limited errors.
How we built it
Pretty simply, I fetch the count of pokemon, and then add a completely random amount to then decide what should be outputted by a quick modulus function.
Challenges we ran into
Finding the idea was the hardest part, but I came to a conclusion pretty fast.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Using the pokemon API for the first time!
What we learned
How to host on render, Pokemon API, and express.js.
What's next for RPS Suggester
Building a frontend, and adding countless other APIs to after all, still accomplish nothing for the user!
