Inspiration
Creating a fun way to learn about the different kinds of waste management, which is a simple that everyone can reduce their impact in their daily lives.
What it does
This is an arcade style game where you operate a trash can that you can change between trash and recycle. You then collect falling pieces of trash and are prompted with a fact about waste management if you collect the wrong piece of trash with your active bin. You can go through the "trash-dex" to learn more information about the diffrent kinds of trash that you have collected, and more about their carbon emmissions.
How we built it
We built the entire game in CodeHS, which took us a while to figure out as we orignally thought about building in VSCode but pivoted due to lack of understanding. While simple, it allowed us to make a well designed game with many diffrenent pieces that all interacted together.
Challenges we ran into
It was hard to find a place where we could make out game, as well as planning what we should do for our game and implementing it correctly. We do not have a lot of knowledge in app development, so almost everything was a learning experinece for us, but we felt we were able to come out wiht a sucessful final prodcut, despite these challenges.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were beyond suprised that we were acutally able to make a functionoing game that did wghat we wanted it do. While the graphics are simple, the game works exctaly how we expected and succesfuly solces our purpose of educating people on proper waste managemnt, which we believe to be a key part of a person's sustainability.
