Inspiration

Learning MATLAB can be as appealing as a jellyfish sting. Traditional resources often leave students lost at sea, making the process more exhausting than a shark's endless swim. SeaScript transforms this challenge into an underwater adventure, turning the tedious journey of mastering MATLAB into an exciting expedition.

What it does

SeaScript plunges you into an oceanic MATLAB adventure with three distinct zones:

  1. 🪼 Jellyfish Junction: Help bioluminescent jellies navigate nighttime waters.
  2. 🦈 Shark Bay: Count endangered sharks to aid conservation efforts.
  3. 🪸 Coral Code Reef: Assist Nemo in finding the tallest coral home.

Solve MATLAB challenges in each zone to collect puzzle pieces, unlocking a final mystery message. It's not just coding – it's saving the ocean, one function at a time!

How we built it

  • Python game engine for our underwater world
  • MATLAB integration for real-time, LeetCode-style challenges
  • MongoDB for data storage (player progress, challenges, marine trivia)

Challenges we ran into

  • Seamlessly integrating MATLAB with our Python game engine
  • Crafting progressively difficult challenges without overwhelming players
  • Balancing education and entertainment (fish puns have limits!)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Created a unique three-part underwater journey for MATLAB learning
  • Successfully merged MATLAB, Python, and MongoDB into a cohesive game
  • Developed a rewarding puzzle system that tracks player progress

What we learned

  • MATLAB's capabilities are as vast as the ocean
  • Gamification can transform challenging subjects into adventures
  • The power of combining coding, marine biology, and puzzle-solving in education

What's next for SeaScript

  • Expand with more advanced MATLAB concepts
  • Implement multiplayer modes for collaborative problem-solving
  • Develop mobile and VR versions for on-the-go and immersive learning

Ready to dive in? Don't let MATLAB be the one that got away – catch the wave with SeaScript and code like a fish boss! 🐠👑
