What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or photos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours).
- This week I made a Figma board for our web app that shows all the different pages and the different flows that the user may go through.
- I finalized the resources and APIs we will need for the web app after doing some research about different databases and web app backends. Ultimately after taking a look at the functions and load of the web app, I decided on Merriam Webster Dictionary API, Flask for backend, React for frontend, and CSV file or SQLite for database.
- I also started coding up the frontend for our web app in React and Typescript, creating the reusable components that we will be using for the different pages and finishing most of the pages’ front end.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
- My progress is on schedule.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
- Next week, I hope to have a cleaned NYT Connections Dataset for our MVP in the form of a CSV file.
- I also want to make more progress on the web app frontend as well as setting up the Flask backend.
- I also hope to have the basic game logic planned out (pseudocode + flowchart).
