Inspiration

Assessments like Arctic shores, which is quickly becoming a standard assessment, among industry leaders like Amazon, Maven Securities, PWC, Deloitte etc.

What it does

It’s a psychometric assessment that leans into the game aspect. It assesses the candidate, gives them a score and stores them in a leaderboard. There is also social functionality like user accounts, friend lists and global leaderboards.

How we built it

Used Python for main functionality specifically Pygame to build out assessment parts and Flask to build the web side, for displaying user statistics and how you stack up against other players on the database. This is tracked via a login and register system, built with securely hashed passwords, and a friends database, connecting users.

Challenges we ran into

Learning to use github

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The code base is huge with a lot more functionality than we initially anticipated. We’re proud we were able to complete the project on time with 2219 lines of code.

What we learned

How to collaborate and bring our code together for a larger scale project
