What inspired us to create this project was a reflection on our mental health during COVID-19, especially highlighting the effects of coping with losing loved ones during this time. We wanted to use our knowledge of coding to generate a sense of understanding for people who have yet to feel the effects of COVID mentally and emotionally.
Our text adventure gives the user an interactive portrayal of what some people have encountered during COVID that is filled with mini-games to make the project more engaging.
We built this project using C++ and divided the work into 4 portions, the mini-game, the text, the illustrations, and the storyline.
Some challenges we faced were implementing the mini-games for example, tic-tac-toe, into our text adventure.
Some accomplishments we're proud of are being able to work as a team that managed to work together on the same project while not meeting in person and finding a project that we all enjoyed working together on.
We learned how to render art in C++ using keyboard symbols.
We plan to display it at our school's next art exhibit so people can appreciate our project.
