Problematic People Project

Inspiration

While we're faced with the two most unpopular presidential candidates in modern U.S. history, we decided it would be a great idea to compile a bunch of horrible things each candidate has said, to see if people really know the candidate they are supporting.

What it does

When the user launches the program, they are given a quote, along with three buttons: Clinton, Trump, or Other. Upon clicking the button, they are given a new screen, telling them if they were correct or incorrect. Lastly, a new screen will appear, telling them who actually said the quote, and why the quote was problematic.

How we built it

We used it with Python3, usually primarily the Tkinter built-in module to create frames, widgets, and buttons.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge we ran into was learning how to use Tkinter. However, in the end, we were able to find a bunch of resources that showed us how to create new windows, how to mix the Turtle module with the Tkinter module, and how to upload images to the screen.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The biggest accomplishment that we're proud of is actually finishing the project. We didn't think it would be done in time, so we were very proud to complete our project, especially since it's our first Hackathon!

What we learned

We learned a lot about Tkinter, as well as how to organize code, condense our code to make it more efficient, and how to quickly adapt when problems arise (i.e. libraries not working).

What's next for Problematic People Program

Next, instead of using just images, we are hoping to be able to upload videos, along with audio, to make it a more user-friendly program. We are also going to work on the aesthetics of the program.
