The Diagnostics Game

The inspiration for the game mostly came from the theme. I didn't really want to make anything serious so I though a small quiz game would be best.

This is a fun quiz game that puts you in the position of a psychiatrist/general practitioner. It tests you on your psychology skills. Besides being used as a fun (kinda) educational game, it can also be used to learn psychology, in a way that isn't... horrible.

I build it using python (bit of an odd decision since I didn't know any python) but it ended up working out. The platform I ended up using to compile the code was replit becuase I had used it at school and it was the only online compiler that supported tkinter.

My sister decided that it would be a good idea to get me into the hackathon. Unfortunate thing was that she said it two days before the hackathon and I had forgotten everything about coding. It was challenging to say the least. Another issue I ended up running into was the replit was frequently be unable to connect to a server leading me to not be able to test my project for half an hour.

I'm so glad that we could finish so much (and learn so much) in barely 4 days. It was an amazing experience.

While doing this, I learned a lot. I learned python, learned a lot of disorders and learned what stress feels like. But I feel as though it was a good experience for me to have.

So, what's next? I didn't have time to add it but I had set up some code for a timed version of the game. I don't think I'll actually work much on it (besides maybe add the timed version or add more disorders) but here it is. It works. Thank you.

BTW: I'm in 7th grade and yes I'm using that as a bribe
