Inspiration
Some of my friends suffer from feelings of anxiety, but they are able to use the 54321 grounding technique to help them feel a sense of calm. I wanted to create an experience that replicates this behavioral therapy technique and makes it more accessible for individuals suffering from similar conditions.
What it does
A cute mascot helps guide you through the grounding process, and provides guidelines for how the user should participate. The user's microphone picks up the spoken phrases, and registers the progress of the exercise on screen, and celebrates each action with a dance animation. At the end of the process, the user is greeted with a calming blue screen and the sound of relaxing rainfall.
How we built it
A lot of vibe coding with the playscape.gg CLI, using the Claude Sonnet 4.5 API.
Challenges we ran into
Vibe coding I/O permissions was a challenge, as was registering proper event transitions.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Finishing my first solo hackathon!!!
What we learned
Shoutout Kareem at playscape.gg
What's next for Calm & Cute
