Inspiration
While in quarantine we were all using movies to pass the time. After a while though our time was spent more of searching for a movie than watching the actual movie. So we made a program to select five random movies to choose from based of a given genre.
What it does
The user chooses a genre of movie they would like to watch and our program selects 5 random movies from a Data frame based on the selected genre
How we built it
We used Python to build the language and uploaded a data csv from Kaggle into a data frame
Challenges we ran into
We had 2 teammates that knew very little Python and we had no knowledge of HTML or API's to create a working web application
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud to have been able to teach some of our teammate the basics of Python and have a working program working in 24 hours
What we learned
We learned how to use data frames and some learned how to code in Python
What's next for WatchIt
We hope to be able to create a working web application. Our next step is to dive deeper into API's and combining and HTML to our Python program.
