Inspiration

Having seen the popularity of the NYT game Connections, I decided to implement the game as a 2D visualization of this game, with an additional taste of difficulty.

What it does

This game is a challenging puzzle game where you connect related concepts across various topics, testing your knowledge and ability to spot patterns. Not only do you have to connect related topics, you also have to match the subcategories, making the game particularly difficult.

How we built it

This game was built with the JavaScript library p5.js with everything else designed by myself!

Challenges we ran into

It was difficult to program the logic for checking the entire tree as I needed to account for the fact that the branches could be swapped or in different locations. Luckily, I was able to successfully implement an algorithm that was able to check for this.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm surprised that I was able to complete implement the game along with the functionality within the time frame. Additionally, I feel like the overall design and aesthetics are polished.

What we learned

I learned about the usage of p5.js to create more complex games as this was a somewhat novel concept for me.

What's next for ConNetwork

Given that the game was created in just a few hours, there are many features that could be added in the future to make the game more fun. For example, right now, the game only has 8 levels and is light in features overall, but more features and levels can be implemented to improve the game.
