Inspiration
Every year people stress about finding a friendship suite for Pomona's room draw. Without SuiteSetup, you essentially leave your chances of getting "Dream Suite 'X'" in the hands of the room draw gods (i.e. Frankie B). We wanted to put the power back in the hands of the people, using a web app.
How it works
Essentially, it takes room draw results from the last four years and averages the suite numbers which selected each suite every year. Then, taking in your data (your class, whether you got your high/mid/low number last year), we simulate, at random, your spot in the room draw and which suites you are then most likely to have access to.
Challenges we ran into
Learning how to use Flask, jQuery, bootstrap, and javascript all in a night
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Learning to properly center objects in HTML/CSS
What I learned
That bugs are no match for stack overflow...and caffeine
What's next for Suite Setup
A new and improved design, plus better simulation, including oldenborg, sub free suites, and the non-friendship suite room draw.
