Inspiration
We were inspired by how habitica made doing boring daily tasks fun and rewarding and decided to create a similar web app that has it's focus on tasks that reduce waste and improve the environment.
What it does
Our web app creates a character for the user which can be levelled up through tasks that reduce waste on the environment. The idea is that users would want to strengthen their characters (better cosmetics, higher levels, more stats) so that they can enjoy doing tasks that save the environment.
How we built it
We used React and Node.js to build a web app.
Challenges we ran into
Currently, our project is not yet functionable - so time is a challenge.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Our initial planning section - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZkLqNc9RS-3ZIooAmeoMPmIn4c3IabZ3YbONr4z3dMA/edit?usp=sharing Our backend server by Kian - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uR8YQnA-NWyzmyPAn3I0BCjLtGTUUZEH/view?usp=sharing
What we learned
We learnt that hackathons are very time consuming - and that planning needs to be more coordinated for a project to be successful.
What's next for environmentaList
If we were to continue with the project, we would add boss monsters, multiplayer capability, leaderboards, and an achievement system.
