Inspiration
A 2013 study published in nature shows that memory training games aren't helpful to reduce mental degradation, but that multitasking games could train their brains to be as snappy as 20 year olds playing the game for the first time.
What it does
Allows you to control an object around a race track. One hand is responsible for speed management and the other for turning. Need to coordinate both to get high scores.
How I built it
Custom controller made of arduino, joystick and an ultrasound sensor. Front-end app in electron and two.js graphics. Back-end mongodb database and flask server to store leaderboards and user data.
Challenges I ran into
Learnt almost everything during event i.e. how to setup and use mongodb, flask, electron and two.js. Hard to design for population don't interact with.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Learning how to do everything and having something somewhat finished.
What I learned
Nothing works in JavaScript. How to develop a web-backend and progressive web app.
What's next for JORS
Improve game and graphics library, fully interface database, develop website around it.
