About the Project

Inspiration
Inspired by the classic struggle of navigating outdated tech, we created mygrandmacantuse.tech as a playful nod to the generational tech gap—imagine a grandma fumbling with boomer-era gadgets!

What We Learned

• User Experience: Crafting interfaces that humorously mimic retro tech while remaining engaging.
  
• Rapid Prototyping: Balancing creative vision with tight hackathon deadlines.
  
• Technical Integration: Merging interactive game mechanics with educational content.

How We Built It

• Frontend: Developed a browser-based game using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, enhanced by libraries like Phaser.js to simulate vintage TV interactions.
  
• Design: Custom assets and animations were created to evoke that unmistakable boomer tech vibe.
  
• Deployment: Hosted on a custom domain, ensuring seamless accessibility and performance.

Challenges Faced

• Overcoming time constraints to deliver a fully interactive, engaging game.
  
• Striking the right balance between humor and educational value.
  
• Ensuring cross-browser compatibility and smooth animations for a retro look.

Overall, mygrandmacantuse.tech is our tongue-in-cheek tribute to tech nostalgia—built with technical rigor, a dash of irreverence, and a whole lot of fun.
