Inspiration
Creepy Wikipedia articles featured on sites such as Youtube and BuzzFeed.
What it does
Wikidetective is a noir murder-mystery game which allows the player to utilize Wikipedia articles to solve a detailed murder case.
How we built it
We used Flask (a Python microframework) and JavaScript to create an animated, immersive text-based experience.
Challenges we ran into
We had a few challenges getting the animated typewriter style text display working. We ended up switching building tools multiples times in order to find the right utilities.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Getting the game into a working state that allows the player to actually experience the entire storyline and really get into the plot of the game.
What we learned
We learned that in the future we should come in with an idea as it used a lot our time to decide on a good idea for a project. We also learned that we should have some sort of plan on how we are going to accomplish a task before the hackathon actually starts as we ran into a lot of issues switching from tool to tool.
What's next for WikiDetective
Expanding the overall plot, adding immersive music, and making the overall UI more appealing.
