My project for MLH Hackcation 2020
Published at https://ahudspith.github.io/wheres_wit/
This is my project for the MLH Summer League Hackcation
I have decided to make a Where's Wally/Waldo style game based around Women in Tech I have used HTML, CSS and JS for this project.
I am really passionate about Women in Tech, and helped to found the WiT society at my uni. I am also very aware that in order to increase the number of WiT we need to start with getting more girls into tech! I thought that creating a game to teach young girls about awesome WiT would help to inspire them. I have also been wanting to experiment with the p5.js library for a while now as a fan of The Coding Train. With the theme of Hackcation being to take a break, I thought I'd take a break from my day-to-day coding work and take the time to learn something new just for fun!
This is my first time using JS for more than just a form on a webpage and is my first time using the p5.js library.
I created a GitHub repo for my project and created the blank README.md, index.html, styles.css and sketch.js files. I was then able to populate these files with the generic structure to start making a p5.js project.
To publish my project I made use of GitHub pages which is a quick and free way to publish straight from a GitHub repo.
I created the avatars for the game using Vectornator which is a free Mac and iOS app for graphic design.
At the moment the code is very basic and the game is the same each time.
I want to continue this project by:
- creating more avatars
- including more WiT
- making the scenes randomly lay themselves about
