Inspiration
Water Contamination is a major issue around the world. Inspiration for choosing this specific issue out of the many that need awareness raised came from a debate tournament where water pollution from factory farming was one of the main issues.
What it does
The code attached currently only affects the background and the river as we were not able to finish, but the game's purpose is to click on as many water contaminants as you can before time runs out.
How we built it
We used pygame in python to code the program, and repl.it as the IDE since it is easy to collaborate on.
Challenges we ran into
One major problem was the time constraint. With only one weekend to work on it, we did not have enough time to really explore the possibilities of Pygame. Another challenge we faced was agreeing on several big decisions, as we both had firm opinions.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to work together and communicate pretty well.
What we learned
We expanded our knowledge about pygame and had experience working under a time constraint. This was both of our's first hackathon.
What's next for Water Contamination Game
If we had more time, we would've completed the program for the microplastics, which we attempted but were not able to complete within the time constraints. We would add multiple levels with different types of contaminants, and more information about the issue to our program.
