Can You Hear Me Now?
Project Mars
Summary
Creating a fully featured chat application with configurable delay to simulate talking to somebody on Mars.
How We Addressed This Challenge
We developed a chat application in Vue where you can set the delay before a message is received and that also includes lots of other features.
How We Developed This Project
We chose the challenge because it's a interesting problem and writing chat applications is fun.
It was made with Node.js, Vue, Bootstrap, Firebase realtime database, and Javascript. We wrote code in Visual Studio Code, used Github Desktop for version control, communicated via Discord, and made the presentation in Google Slides.
None of us knew web development besides static websites at the start of the hackathon, so we had to learn quickly. That meant learning Node.js, Vue, Bootstrap, more Javascript, and Firebase in 2 days.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
We used space agency data for information about the light delay to Mars as well as Mars imagery from NASA and ESA to create a 3D model of Mars that was used for backdrops on the slideshow and the website.
