Inspiration

We found inspiration from the "Most Impractical" award. One of our friends came up with the idea of a calculator that doesn't function properly and makes calculating anything annoying for its users. We loved that idea, so we made it!

What it does

Have you ever wanted to convert numbers into dates? How about converting numbers to emojis? The Impractical Catculator has everything you would never need (and nothing you actually need)!

How we built it

We made The Impractical Catculator using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Challenges we ran into

After the hurdle of figuring out what we wanted to do, the next hurdle was learning the languages we were making it in. Only one member of our team has experience in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (and it's only a little experience), so we all started with learning how to create basic websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. We also struggled to come up with funny ways the Catculator could toy with your numbers and output random stuff.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We successfully implemented all that we wanted to in to the Catculator, and we learned a lot along the way about Web Development. And most of all, we had fun!
