How we built it
We used python, tkinter, pygame and pilllow.
Challenges we ran into
We struggled with file control for this project. Since many of us were new to git, we had to manage multiple merge conflicts for the source code. Animation also proved to be a challenge, since we were new to animation as a whole and how to create frames and implement them in python and tkinter.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Everything! Each one of us made valuable contributions to the project in both the code and the artwork that allowed us to bring Starshmello to life on each of our computers!
What we learned
We learned how to work with tkinter and its other functionalities. We were also able to familiarize ourselves with git and Github, a skill that will be incredibly useful for other projects that we may contribute in. We also learned more about animation and how to make a character move naturally, to give more charm to the artwork we create.
What's next for Starshmello - Virtual Companion
Add more functionalities to make is more interactive on all platforms. We may consider adding functionalities like setting timers, to-do lists, or checking the weather to make a cute, helpful companion that calls your device its home.
