There are a lot of people unconvinced about climate change, despite growing scientific evidence. We were inspired by documentaries which talk about it, and the increasing minformation on social media claiming climate change to be a hoax and conspiracy theory.

Our project is a website where a player visits islands which ask seemingly mundane questions about the daily life of the individual, unaware of the impact it has on the environment. Our objective is to make people realise the impact on the environment through the game and their answers. We want to give recommendations to people on where they can improve, and encourage those already contributing to saving the climate.

We did indepth research to collect our data in one place and get a user flow for the game. We used github to collaborate and for version control. With flask for python on the backhand to exchange information with the player, we have html and css files to control the look and feel of the website itself.

With lack of programming experience in the team, the hackathon was a steep learning curve. Collaborating across 4 different timezones was difficult.

Building a working website within the timeframe and being an all-female team!

Each of us has learnt something in the hackathon, be it flask, using github, video editing or user research.

Looking to improve the front-end, incorporating a scoreboard to have a competitive environment. Deploying it to the public after better research and more questions.

If running it in anaconda prompt in Windows 10:

1. Navigate to yhack folder using cd Documents/GitHub/yhack2020/yhack , this will vary for you depending on where the yhack folder is located in your Desktop
2. run pip install flask_session on the command line
3. run set FLASK_APP=application.py on the command line
4. run flask run on the command line

Terminal displays warning, but the program will still work-

• Serving Flask app "application.py"
• Environment: production WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment. Use a production WSGI server instead.
