Kids + Reading = Fun? Part 2

Starting off from where we last left off...

I started working for a company to create a project called Scribble Stadium. For this the project had the aim of creating a reading and writing game that would make both fun for kids. We made a game out of this, meaning there are turns and points scored.

Before we got there a few other developers had their hands in the code. They moved on to other pastures so it fell to us and the rest of my cohort to finish to the best of our abilities. It wasn't easy. One of the challenges our cohort faced was transferring the code from Okta to Auth0. They pulled this off well within time to obtain MVP.

The team I was involved with had a bit more trouble. We had to develop a bot that would play the game like a player when their weren't enough people to go around. It was challenging. None of us had ever created a bot before. However we came together and were able to figure out the basic logic behind the bot.

Still... this took us about 3 weeks to come up with the logic and how the bot should perform. Another month was spent coding and troubleshooting. Time after time bugs would pop up, or tests wouldn't pass. Luckily with perseverance we overcame the challenges and successfully made our MVP.
