The Hunt

A hunting game reinvents classic tag by giving each role unique abilities and limits.

Inspiration

Inspired from the classical tag game, this game is a rework, where special abilities are implemented and a gps system tracks the location of each player.

What it does

Each player's location will be shown on a map at all time. Using this, hiders can hide away and seekers can better find their targets. This game also implements verification systems to make sure either of the opposite teams win.

How we built it

The frontend was built using next.js and react. Real time communications were built through Socket.IO, 3D graphics were built with three.js and the mapping was done with the google maps API and leaflet for the location tracking.

Challenges we ran into

The greatest issue we ran into during this hackathon was to implement a properly working and precise map. Moreover, because of buildings, it is hard to predict which floor a person will be on. Therefore, we've taken another approach and used another form of verification.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to come up with a successful and viable verification system to determine which team wins the game.

What we learned

We've learned how to implement to implement the google maps API into our project.

What's next for The Hunt

We will refine the mapping system, then add extra features like a kick/ban system and more. We will also add more special abilities to each role.
