NBA Comparison

• 

  GUI made using Tkinter

Inspiration

We wanted to be able to compare two players' stats in order to decide which one to pick for fantasy drafts.

What it does

The program allows the user to choose two players and a season during which each player played. The program than outputs a comparison of the two players' stats from the desired seasons

How we built it

We worked on it in 2 different ways. Our main idea was a website using django, but due to some problems we ran into, we also decided to make the program as a simple GUI using python. The packages used were tkinter, pandas, numpy and nba_api

Challenges we ran into

We ran into some runtime errors while working on the website. Due to that, we decided to create the program using tkinter while parallelly working to fix the website. The website eventually worked, but it runs very slowly.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Being able to learn how to and create a GUI in python was a very meaningful accomplishment. One person didn't even know python past the basics till yesterday. We're also proud of being able to work through the errors we ran into while working on the website, and while it's not the prettiest looking, it functions the way we wanted it to.

What we learned

We learned how to work through errors we ran into while working on a project. We also learned cool new packages in python that helped shape our program.
