Inspiration
Oregan Trail was the inspiration for this game. We wanted to make a similar game but theme it around Aggieland and the wild west!
What it does
You play the role of a cowboy student attending Wild Wild Aggieland, your classes are located in Wild West Campus
How we built it
The game was built by going to GitHub and finding a base we could modify to make an Oregon Trail game. The bulk of the code is in JavaScript, with some HTML and CSS
Challenges we ran into
I used to have a group for the first few hours of the contest, but then they all left without communicating to me. I tried reaching out to them multiple times, but no one responded, except for one person, but they told me that they could not work on the project because they had work. I haven't gotten any contact back from them since, so I have been working on the project solo.
I do not know how to use HTML or CSS, and my experience with JavaScript is not that much, so I had to figure out a lot of things on the go (like syntax, errors, styling).
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I am very proud of the progress I was able to make and the effort I put in despite my challenges! I am also happy with how the drawings I made came out.
What we learned
I learned about HTML and functions in JavaScript. I also learned about dictionaries. That is what I learned for the game making portion.
At hackathon, I learned about a lot of useful skills like GitHub, LinkedIn, resume building, and website scraping. It was all very interesting information!
What's next for Wild Wild Aggieland
I hope I will be able to fix up the game better after getting a better understanding of the errors I am having. I know i can definitely do this! I just need the time to research the skills needed.
