Inspiration

We were inspired by the theme of the Journey Hacks 2025 website

What it does

The website is a game similar to, "stack" the goal is to stack cake layers on top of each other as high as possible. The website hosts the game which was created in Unity as well as displays the leaderboard.

How we built it

The website portion of the project was created in React whereas the game portion was created in Unity. In order to combine these we had to use Unity's WebGL which helped us to embed the game into our React app.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge we ran into was combining the game with the website. This was the biggest learning curve for us. We also ran into some challenges with React and Node at first when creating the framework for the website.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of our teamwork. We were able to split into teams of 2 and work on the game and the website. We faced some challenges when it came time to combine the Unity game and React app together, but we were able to figure them out.

What we learned

We had experience with React and Unity separately but none of us had experience with using them together. This was the biggest learning curve for us and defiantly took up the most time for our project.

What's next for Pastry Panic

In the future we'd like to fix the bugs that we didn't have time to get to during this hackathon. We also want to add a multiplayer PvP mode to the game and some backstory to make it more engaging.
