Inspiration
We wanted to create a holiday from home, for people to get away from the confines of lockdown. A game was also created as a way for people to relax, and a way to push our skills.
What it does
This website takes you to a relaxing sound environment based on your current mood. The website asks you to select your mood and takes you to appropriate options based on your response. The website also features a java mini game.
How our team built it
We used html and CSS to build the website with some help from bootstrap, and the game was created as a java app. We used ambient mixer to create the sound environments. For the web server we used tomcat 7.
Challenges our team ran into
Between the group we faced a wide array of challenges. I was having issues with running java on my computer whereas some others couldn't see any CSS formatting, but the team worked well to manage these issues. Aside from that, I had some issues with the spacing on the home page being a bit off and in the final version the background for the emotion page should be blue but it is white. In terms of the minigame there were some issues trying to use java web start so we settled with just having the user download the jar directly. As well, there was an issue getting the jar to properly load the required images.
Accomplishments that our team proud of
We are proud that we managed to put this project together in a short amount of time, especially since the team was split between 2 time zones with a 5 hour time difference. I am proud that I built my confidence with html and CSS.
What our team learned
We learned how to put external links and games into a website, We also improved my skills with GitHub drastically.
What's next for Vacation Space
It would be nice to add more emotions to the website and more sound environments to choose from. We would also like to add more games to the website.
