Inspiration
I chose to create a virtual arcade in response to the entertainment track. The prompt mentioned how entertainment changed during quarantine. This made me think that during quarantine, places like arcades were closed down at first, so I thought creating a virtual arcade would be cool.
What it does
My virtual arcade has 3 games. Two are single player and one is a multiplayer. People can play the 3 games and try to beat each other's high scores.
How we built it
The project is coded in JavaScript. There is a little bit of HTML as well as CSS to have consistent formatting across the pages, but all of the cool stuff that the website does is a result of the JavaScript code that I wrote.
Challenges we ran into
I am somewhat new to coding in JavaScript so there were a few times where I didn't know how to format or code something. Luckily there is a lot of resources online for formatting JavaScript code. One thing I wanted to add, but did not have time was making some of the game animations fancier. Since most of the elements were drawn on a canvas, it was difficult to make them look fancy or cool.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
This is the coolest coding project I have ever made I think. I improved my JavaScript skills a lot and I look forward to building more websites in the future.
What we learned
I learned how to make playable games in Javascript.
What's next for Virtual Arcade
I might add more games or the ability for players to select the colors schemes of the games.
