Inspiration
I saw the themes for the SLO hacks hackathon were gaming, fintech, and security. I wanted to implement at least 2 of these to win as many points as possible. I chose gaming and fintech because I wanted a challenge and I don't think anyone else has combined those.
What it does
It is the classic game of snake but every two points your get, it asks for a new piece of personal/financial information
How I built it
I used the pygame python API to build the game snake and made breakpoints for personal connection where needed
Challenges I ran into
At first I was trying to run another GUI API for the personal connection part of the game. In order to do that I had to use multiprocessing which as it turns out, GUIs do not like to be on the child process. The more you know! I ended up learning how to make text screens with the pygame API itself Second, I had a couple of ethical concerns with the project considering it is taking bank information. I never got to implement this important security feature. A future version will include blockchain for safe storage.
What's next for snake financial
I'm thinking about taking this game globally. I'm just not sure if the current state of society is ready for a game like this.
