Inspiration

The squirrels on campus were our inspiration because they are constantly dodging obstacles and we wanted to create a game out of that idea.

What it does

This game was inspired by Subway Surfers. Our squirrel moves forward across Mckeldin Mall automatically as well as side to side with a press of the A and D keys. The goal of this game is to get points by collecting Carbies (bread) while avoiding abandoned scooters and spikeball players to reach Testudo.

How we built it

We built it in Glitch using Javascript with the help of HTML and CSS.

Challenges we ran into

The key presses do not work so the squirrels can't move from side to side.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating a semi-working game seeing as we are both beginners with limited coding experience. As well as the cute images.

What we learned

We learned that you can run into errors unexpectedly as well as roadblocks when figuring out how to create a certain feature. Also, we learned that the internet is a good resource for figuring out the problems we have as we code.

What's next for Squirrel Quest

We're going to get the side-to-side keys working. We would also like to display statistics like high score and add sound.
