Hook Line Sinker

Hook Line Sinker is an educational game created for a weekend winter hackathon. I was a part of a team of 3. Although it’s a very simple webapp, the polish we acheived was great.

Game Loop

The game loop is pretty simple:

• Catch Fish
• Answer the question based on the type of fish you caught
• View result
• Repeat

It would have been nice to expand upon the game aspect of Hook Line Sinker, adding a scoring system or increasing difficulty of questions as you progress further into the game. Alas we only had a weekend and limited time to work on the project anyways because our team where all helping run aspects of the hackathon on top of participating.

Development

The webapp was created in Golang, HTML, CSS and HTMX. A super simple stack for just getting things done.

I was the main developer for the project writing most of the code, whilst my other team mates where working on art and generating questions for the fish.
