D-Code

Flappy Bird D-Code Example

Inspiration

I got my inspiration from teaching my cousin to code. It wasn't until I got started that I realized that there were many aspects to java that required a large learning curve. That was when we decided that we wanted to deconstruct one of the most popular languages and make it simpler.

What it does

Rather than having to go through the struggles of learning a programming language, we provide a user friendly interface that makes the coding the experience more pleasant.

How we built it

We started off coding the pseudocode that java interprets and slowly moved on to the UI. Then we moved on to coding concrete example games using the pseudocode. After that we worked on created a descriptive and complete help menu so that the user feels comfortable using the program. Finally we created a index.html to supplement the the program. From the website you can download the program to your computer.

Challenges we ran into

We wanted to created a "mesh"/networking ability in our program but ran into difficulties making it work.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of creating a simpler way to code and interpreting our own "language". We are also happy that the user can interact with a aesthetically pleasing html file.

What we learned

We learned that you can learn and accomplish a lot in 24 hours if you set your mind to it and work really hard.

What's next for D-Code

We hope to add networking abilities later and create a well designed website.

Created by

I helped code the website supporting the the program and coded the backend for the program's "deconstruction of java". I also helped create part of the UI for the program.

Sahil Morchi
I helped by contributing ideas and aiding my fellow peers when things didn't work especially difficulties in the main method and the overall functionality. I also worked on a little bit of the code for the flappy bird and the ball bouncer with Abhi and Karthik.

Sanjay Shrikanth
I coded the examples for the program along with Karthik, providing the users with customizable "games". We also typed up the text files explaining the keywords and possible inputs for the program.

Abhishek Kattuparambil
I focused on the back end with Abhishek by helping to code the games so the user was provided concrete examples to build upon. These examples so that even a newby could code from it. We also made a basic text file describing keywords and possible inputs.
