Inspiration
What it does
It spreads awareness of carbon emissions by turning it into a game. Spending time on high-emission websites depletes energy, while spending time on low-emission websites increases energy. Energy is used to gain exp. Playing the game will help the player remember which websites are low and high emission and give them incentive to use low-emission websites.
How we built it
We used a carbon emission API and html/CSS/js
Challenges we ran into
We couldn't get a free public API that has the database we wanted, so we had to settle with making our own local database with json files
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The extension looks pretty nice and we came up with a solid idea
What we learned
We learned how to use APIs and make google extensions
What's next for Web Quest
We might update it by making the game part more fun, thereby making energy more important and time spent
