Inspiration
"No matter how simple - build and get started!" - Alvin (MLH Fellow)
We brainstormed - what can we build? So we thought of implementing what we have recently learned in college i.e. number conversions from one base to another.
What it does - Description
It has a simple UI - having some buttons which provide functionality like conversion of a base 2 number to base 8, base 10, base 16 (i.e. conversion of a binary number to octal, decimal and hexadecimal). It provides same conversion functions for decimals, octals and hexadecimals as well.
How we built it
Mutaib is good at HTML, CSS, JS and I have basic understanding of programming concepts so we integrated our skills to built this mini project. I implemented conversion functions using JS and later Mutaib fixed the UI.
Challenges we ran into
As Thehacktrical2 is our first hackathon, I'd say every single thing was challenging for us. We didn't know how will we do it but kudos to MLH community members who helped us and we were able to sort out things and come up with the Number Conversion mini project for the hackathon. Time management was one of the difficult challenges. We started in evening yesterday(Saturday) and here it is!
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to:
- Implement what we had learned in college.
- Build our first mini project.
- Participate in a hackathon and get to know about MLH community.
- Work as a team.
What we learned
We learned how to work as a team, how projects are built, and somethings related to html,css,js while coding the project.
What's next for Number Conversion
We'll try refactoring it to improve its UI and efficiency. We didn't have much time but we'll surely improve it in coming times.
