For this project, we were inspired by the book 1984 by George Orwell and we wanted to remake some of the most famous scenes.
Since the project has a very dark theme, we decided to make a warning page before starting the game. And we also decided to make a button for emergency escape if someone is uncomfortable to continue to play the game.
Unfortunately, we were not able to reach our goal for many parts of the project. For example, the pop-up window was not supposed to be a prompt window but a dialogue box each time a question is asked in the space. And we would like to have the mouse move in and out of the screen to trigger such box. However, since we could not know the exact location of the mouse when the page is opened, we decided that we would make a prompt window.
We also wanted to make a bed in the living room, but because of the perspective is not right with the screen, we decided to instead make a button with a red door image.
Here is a version of the working website for the first question to be asked in the game.
We also had some problems with loading the audio for the website. And we since the images are too large to load locally, we started to use a localhost server by using python in Terminal.
It was our first time using p5.js, so it was very frustrating when we were trying to draw the shapes we wanted.
