4. Turn-based creative writing web app

New project to build a turn-based creative writing app, where people can collaborate on writing stories and practice their creative writing skills.

Goal is a real time creative writing collaboration 'game'. Each participant takes a turn to add a limited amount of text (ie: 100 words max) to write a short story. Each story will have a maximum of 10 writers and a minimum of 2 who can be anonymous or invited friends.

Repo: Creative Collab

Research

  • Questions:
    • Support for Mobile?
    • Support for text based?
    • Support for other platforms? Slack, Discord, ???
    • Serverless or with a backend? Do you want accounts, publishing, etc, or p2p with some kind of WebRTC style networked system?
    • Publishing of final product into different formats? e.g., https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor.js

5. Seneca Student Personal GitHub Dashboard

New project to create a web-based GitHub Dashboard suitable for Seneca students doing open source. Some ideas:

  • track status of things you've worked on (Issues, Bugs, Projects)
  • track projects you want to try next, showing you possible good bugs you could do

Research

  • Lots of GitHub dashboards already exist that might do some of what we want.
  • Even more web dashboard components and projects we could use
  • GitHub API allows for querying data easily

7. Unity side-scrolling video game in C#

Existing project, Unity based game engine/side-scroller puzzle game written in C#. Description: This game consists of 5 levels and a main hub. The player progresses through each level and solves puzzles in order to unlock the next level. Each level consists of 2 paths, a shorter path with less puzzles but they are harder in difficulty. And a longer path with more easier puzzles, but takes longer. There is a score system in place that is based off of time and number of puzzles solved. There are 3 difficulty variations to each puzzle. Here are a list of puzzles you'll see: Tangrams, Anagrams, Cryptogram, Image Scramble, Puzzle Template, Simon Says, Wire Connection, Word Passcode.

Lots of Issues currently in repo

Repo: Solitary
